Another cricketer who played for Derbyshire during the 1919 season was named George Ratcliffe.

George Ratcliffe (April 1, 1856 — March 7, 1928), birth name George Ratcliff, was an English cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman. He was born in Ilkeston and died in Nottingham.

Ratcliffe played for Derbyshire during the 1887 season. His debut match, in June 1887 against Surrey, saw him score a half-century, however, his average tumbled beyond this point, and by the end of 1887, he was out of the team.

Ratcliffe, who was never on the winning side of a First-class match, was a middle-upper order batsman and an occasional bowler.
