George Edward Dodsworth (2 December 1841 – 14 June 1876) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
The son of Benjamin Dodsworth, he was born at York in December 1841. He was educated at Repton School,[1] before attending the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He graduated from Woolwich in December 1864, entering into the Royal Artillery as a lieutenant. Dodsworth played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1868, against Lancashire at Lord's.[2] Batting twice in the match, Dodsworth was dismissed for 3 runs in the MCC first innings by Frederick Reynolds, while in their second innings he was at the crease unbeaten on 2 runs when the winnings runs for the MCC were hit.[3] He later served in British India with the Royal Artillery, where he died from fever in June 1876 at the British cantonment of Morar at Gwalior.[4] He was survived by his wife, Penelope Ruth Wilford.[5]
