Biography
Thomas Hearne (4 September 1826 – 13 May 1900) was an English first-class cricketer, active 1857 to 1875, who played for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and Middlesex. He was born in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire; and died in Ealing. Hearne was a right-handed batsman, a roundarm medium-fast bowler and an occasional wicketkeeper. He was also a member of the team led by HH Stephenson that toured Australia in 1861–2, the first side from England to visit the country. For this tour the team travelled on the SS Great Britain.
He and his brother George led a cricketing dynasty, which spawned thirteen first-class cricketers.
