About Charles Wynch

Lived 1833 – 1876 (aged 42). Charles Wynch was a British cricketer.

Charles George Wynch (24 July 1833 – 21 May 1876) was an English cricketer. Wynch was a right-handed batsman, though his bowling style is unknown. He was born at Calcutta in the British Raj and was educated at Rugby School and Haileybury and Imperial Service College.

Wynch made his first-class debut for Sussex against Kent in 1852 at the Higher Common Ground, Tunbridge Wells. He made a further first-class appearance for the county in that year in the return fixture between the sides at the Royal Brunswick Ground, Hove. A journeyman first-class cricketer, Wynch turned out for a number of teams besides Sussex. In 1853, he played for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of Kent, immediately following this game up with an appearance for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of the Marylebone Cricket Club, with both matches played at Lord's. One of four half centuries he made, this score came against the Gentlemen of the North in 1859.

He died at Westminster, London, on 21 May 1876.
