Henry Holden Halliday (30 March 1855 – 19 July 1922) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Nelson from 1874 to 1880.
On his first-class debut against Wellington in 1873-74, Harry Halliday opened the batting in the first innings for Nelson and made 35, their highest score of the match. [1] He was less successful with the bat in later matches, but he established himself as one of the best long stops in New Zealand at a time when that was an important fielding position. [2] [3]
Halliday died suddenly aged 67 at his home in Hokitika in July 1922, leaving a widow, a daughter and three sons. [4]
