Osmond Charles Ardagh (1 November 1900 – 1 February 1954)[1] was an English first-class cricketer who played a single match for Oxford University in 1922.[2] He was born at Haslemere, Surrey and was found drowned in the river Thames at Wallingford, then in Berkshire.
In his single first-class cricket appearance, he opened the batting in the match against Leicestershire and scored just two runs.[3] He also played a few matches for Surrey's second eleven in the Minor Counties in 1920 and 1922.[2]
In 1925, when his forthcoming marriage to Margot Irene Biheller was announced in The Times, he was credited as "of the Nyasaland Government Service".[4] When she died in 1969, The Times recorded that they had had two sons, John and Hugh.[5] His son John Ardagh was a noted journalist and writer on contemporary France. His grandson Arjuna Ardagh is a writer, and the founder of Awakening Coaching.
