Frederic Richard Price (2 February 1840 – 26 December 1894) was a Welsh first-class cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and an underarm slow bowler who played occasionally from 1859 to 1872, sometimes as a wicketkeeper.
Price was born in February 1840 at Llewes Hall, Denbighshire, Wales.[1] In his Death notice in The Times, Price was cited as the youngest son of John Price of Llanrhaeadr Hall, Denbigh.[2] He was educated at Cheltenham College and The Queen's College, Oxford. He represented Oxford University Cricket Club, Gloucestershire County Cricket Club and the Gentlemen of the North.[3]
Price made six first-class appearances, scoring 90 runs at 11.25 with a highest innings of 33. He held eight catches and completed three stumpings. His only bowling was in 1859 for the Gentlemen of the North when he took 6 wickets at 16.50 with a best analysis of 3–33.[3]
Below first-class level he played at county level for Cheshire, Monmouthshire, Denbighshire, and, between 1867 and 1872, for Shropshire.[1] For the latter, he appeared in three matches, scoring at most 46 runs in a match, and took a total 11 wickets.[4]
Price died at sea in the English Channel on 26 December 1894 aged 54. He was on board the SS Teutonic sailing from America to England.[3]
