Billyeald was born at Hyson Green near Nottingham, the son of Thomas Billyeald and his wife Annis Hallam. He became a commercial traveller for wares, groceries and seeds and was living at Wirksworth.[1] Between 1866 and 1870 he played cricket for various teams including Wirksworth Cricket Club, Nottingham Commercial Club and Gentlemen of Derbyshire. In 1871 he was living at Dale House, Wirksworth.[1]
Billyeald played for Derbyshire in the 1871 season in their second match against Lancashire in August. Following a promising 11 not-out innings from a tailend position in the first innings, Billyeald switched to the upper order in the second and made 4. Billyeald was a right-handed batsman and played two innings in one first class match and a total of 15 runs. He was a round-arm medium-pace bowler.[2]
Billyeald died in Hyson Green at the age of 55.
