Marcus Milner (cricketer)
Marcus Henry Milner (16 April 1864 – 16 January 1939) was an English racehorse trainer, soldier and civil servant and a cricketer who played two first-class cricket matches for Cambridge University in 1884.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Marcus Milner )〕 He was born at West Retford, Nottinghamshire and died at Liverpool.
Milner was educated at Wellington College and at Trinity College, Cambridge. Having captained Wellington as a left-handed opening batsman and a left-arm medium-pace bowler, he appeared as a lower-order batsman and bowler in his two Cambridge matches; he took five wickets and scored 20 and 4 in the first game against an invitational amateur side, but was not successful in the second, and did not appear again.〔
Milner had a varied career after leaving Cambridge. In 1888, he married the Dowager Duchess of Montrose, 46 years his senior and, through her second marriage after the death of the Duke, an established breeder and trainer of racehorses, though forced by the conventions of the time to use a male pseudonym, Mr Manton, for the business; for some time after the marriage, the horses ran under Milner's name, though the whole business had been sold in the months before the Duchess's death in 1894. According to his own short obituary in ''The Times'', Milner acted as "controller" to successive generations of the Stanley family, the Earls of Derby. He was also a decorated soldier, serving with the Imperial Yeomanry in the Second Boer War in which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and then as a major in the First World War, when he was aide-de-camp to the commanding officer of the 55th (West Lancashire) Infantry Division and was awarded the Belgian ''Croix de Guerre''.〔 He also served briefly as a civil servant: he was assistant private secretary to the Under-Secretary for War in 1902 and private secretary from 1905 to 1906.〔
