Early and personal life
Born in London, he was the son of George Bakewell Dewhurst and Frances Ada Dewhurst (née Mann). He grew up at Oughtrington Hall in Lymm, Cheshire,[1] and was educated at Repton School, where he was a member of the school football XI in 1889 and 1890,[2] and Trinity College, Cambridge.[3][4] While at Cambridge, he earned a "blue" in 1892, 1893 and 1894.[2]
In 1897 he married Mary Brougham, by whom he had two sons.[5]
Football career
Dewhurst played for Liverpool Ramblers and the Corinthians as an amateur, and also played one game for Liverpool against Crewe Alexandra on 24 March 1894.[6] He made 32 appearances for the Corinthians between 1892 and 1895, scoring 18 goals.[7]
He earned one cap for England in a British Home Championship against Wales on 18 March 1895, whilst registered as a Liverpool Ramblers player.[8] All eleven England players were members of the Corinthian club[9] and were expected to produce an easy victory;[10] in the event, Wales proved stronger than expected and the match ended in a 1–1 draw with Rupert Sandilands equalizing shortly after Wales took the lead through Billy Lewis.[11]
Business career
Dewhurst joined his family cotton trading firm, Geo. & R. Dewhurst Ltd. of Manchester, becoming Chairman and Managing Director.[12] He was also Chairman of the Vulcan Insurance Company of Manchester, a director of the London Assurance Corporation and a member of the Manchester Royal Exchange.[12] He later worked as a banker with Williams Deacon's Bank, becoming Chairman, and as a director of The Royal Bank of Scotland.[5][12]
He served as Justice of the Peace for Denbighshire.[12]
The Great Central Railway named one of its GCR Class 11F "Improved Director" steam locomotives after him, No. 507 (later L.N.E.R. No. 5507 and B.R. No. 62661).[13][14]
