James Lawrence (1849 - 2 October 1898) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in one first-class match for Wellington during the 1873–74 season.[1] [2]
Lawrence was born in the English county of Surrey in 1849. In New Zealand he worked as a fireman for a gas company in Wellington.[3] He appeared in his only first-class match, a March 1874 fixture against Nelson, as a full substitute for Francis Bell, batting only in Wellington's second innings during which he scored a single run.[2]
Lawrence died in March 1936 as the result of a collision with a steam-roller which had occurred 18 months previously.[3]
