Ernest Coxon

Ernest James de Veuille Coxon (10 December 1857 – 8 April 1924) was an English first-class cricketer.

Coxon was born in December 1857 at Bishop's Hull, Somerset.

He played minor matches for Hong Kong, playing in the interport matches against Shanghai and the Straits Settlements in October 1889 and January 1890.

[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed in the Gentlemen of England's first-innings for 10 runs by Lionel Palairet, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 21 runs by Percy Farrant.

His unavailability likely saved his life, as the SS Bokhara transporting the Hong Kong team to Shanghai sunk, resulting in the deaths of all but two members of the Hong Kong team.
