From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Gower Wenman (born 18 August 1803 and died 28 December 1879) was an English cricketer in the mid-19th century.
Coming to eminence in 1831, he was a key member of the great Kent team of the 1840s and generally rated one of the best wicket-keepers of the period. Ned's cousins George and John, son William, and brother, Charles, all played first-class cricket for Kent.
