The son of John and Arabella Prest, he moved with his brother William to Sheffield when their father bought a wine business.[1] There he played first-class cricket for Sheffield (also known as Yorkshire), making two appearances against Manchester in 1852 and 1854, with both matches taking place there. [2] He scored 22 runs in his two matches, with a high score of 12.[3] He died in Lincoln in August 1871.[4]
