David S.G. Burton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Stuart Gaselee Burton was a first-class cricketer who played 10 first-class matches for MCC on the tour of the West Indies in 1910-11.

Born Stuart Gaselee Burton at Bath, Somerset on March 31, 1888, Burton batted mostly in the lower order, and did not make many runs. He did not bowl on the tour and never played first-class cricket again afterwards. His cousin Cecil Burton was also on the tour and later captained Yorkshire; Cecil's brother, Claude, played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Yorkshire.

He died at Windsor, Berkshire on January 24, 1948.
