Hon. John Yarde Buller (23 December 1823 – 6 May 1867) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

Yarde-Buller was born in December 1823 at Elvaston, Derbyshire. He was the son of politician John Yarde-Buller, 1st Baron Churston and Elizabeth Wilson Patten. After the death of his mother in 1857, his father married Caroline Newman, a daughter of Sir Robert Newman, 1st Baronet of Mamhead House in 1861.[1] From his parents' marriage, he had one sister, Hon. Bertha Yarde-Buller, who married Sir Massey Lopes, Baronet

His father was the eldest son of Sir Francis Buller-Yarde-Buller, 2nd Baronet and Elizabeth Holliday (only daughter and heiress of John Holliday of Dilhorne Hall).[2] His maternal grandfather was Thomas Wilson-Patten of Bank Hall in Lancashire, and his maternal uncle was John Wilson-Patten, 1st Baron Winmarleigh.[1]

He was educated at Eton College,[3] before going up to University College, Oxford in 1841. He graduated B.A. in 1844, and M.A. in 1847.[4]

Career

Buller made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1850.[5] Batting twice in the match, he ended the Oxford first-innings of 97 all out unbeaten on 3, while in their second-innings he was dismissed without scoring by Samuel Dakin.[6]

He later served in the South Devon Militia,[3] where he gained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and succeeded his father in command.[7]
