Frederic John Jones (2 November 1850 – 9 June 1921) was an English cricketer who made one appearance in first-class cricket in 1889.
Jones' batting style is not known, however it is known he was a right-arm fast bowler who played for several top cricket clubs in the Liverpool area in the 1870s and 1880s, including Sefton Park, Sefton, and Huyton.[1] He was selected to play what would be his only first-class cricket match in 1889 when picked for the Liverpool and District cricket team against Yorkshire at Aigburth.[2] In a match which Yorkshire won by an innings and 41 runs, Jones scored 13 runs in Liverpool and District first-innings, before being dismissed stumped by David Hunter off the bowling of Bobby Peel. In Yorkshire's first-innings he took 4 wickets from his 40 overs, conceding 71 runs. His wickets included the England Test cricketer Lord Hawke. In the Liverpool and District second-innings he was last man out, dismissed stumped by Hunter off the bowling of Saul Wade for 3.[3]
Jones' younger brother, Charles, played in his only first-class match as an opening batsman. He died at Liverpool on 9 June 1921.
