Ned Gregory

Edward James Gregory was an Australian cricketer who played in the first recognised Test in 1877 between Australia and England in Melbourne.
He came from a cricketing family, his brothers included Arthur, Dave, and Charles. His children were also notable, Syd, Louisa, and Charles Gregory, and his brother Charles' son was Jack Gregory.
Ned was also father-in-law of Harry Donnan. In the latter part of his life he was custodian of the Association ground at Sydney after building the scoreboard there.
Ned Gregory and Nat Thomson are indicated by Wisden to have been born on the same day, and thus jointly were the earliest-born Australian Test cricketers.
