Tracy Archer Moresby (1867 – 1933) was a New Zealand cricketer, born in England. He played four first-class matches for Auckland between 1889 and 1894. [1] [2]
Moresby left England in his teens and went to New Zealand, where he worked as a clerk in the Deeds Office in Auckland. [3] A middle-order batsman and excellent fieldsman, he was Auckland's highest scorer in their low-scoring match against Otago in December 1892, although he scored only 15 and 17. [4] He was also prominent in Auckland as a rugby player and athlete. [3]
Moresby married Edith Halyday in New Zealand in 1893. When he toured with the Auckland team from late December 1893 to mid-January 1894, Edith and her father travelled with him. [5]
He and Edith had three children. [6] They lived in Paeroa, where for some years he worked as a legal official: mining registrar and clerk of courts. He qualified as a solicitor in 1898 and set up a practice in Paeroa. [7] [6]
Edith was granted a judicial separation in April 1921 on the grounds that Moresby had fathered two children with his typist. [6] By the time of the court proceedings, he had left New Zealand. [8]
Moresby died in Melbourne in 1933. [9]
