Arthur Aldersley

William Arthur Aldersley (4 December 1888 – 17 March 1981) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played in six first-class matches for Wellington between the 1909–10 season and 1922–23. Aldersley was born at Keighley in Yorkshire in 1888. His family emigrated to New Zealand when he was a child and he was educated at Mount Cook School in Wellington. He was a founding member of Lower Hutt Cricket Club and played regularly for the team for more than 25 years. Considered one of the best all-rounders in local cricket, he was described by The Dominion in 1930 as "a really good batsman, a clever slow spin bowler and a useful fieldsman" as well as "a most likeable personality".
