Alfred Edward Johns (22 January 1868 Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia – 13 February 1934 Melbourne, Australia) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Australia and Victoria between 1895 and 1899.[1]
He was one of eight children of Elizabeth (née Tudor) and Peter Johns, founder of the lift manufacturing firm Johns & Waygood.[2]
Cricket career
Johns made his first-class debut for Victoria in a match against an A E Stoddart's XI in March 1895.[3] The wicket-keeper toured with the Australian national team to England twice in 1896 and 1899 without playing in a Test Match.[4] Unusually for an Australian player, over half of Johns' first-class matches were played in England rather than Australia.[4]
