Major Frank Fairbairn Crawford (17 June 1850 – 16 January 1900) was a British Army officer who was killed in the Second Boer War.
[4] His army career restricted his cricketing opportunities, although he featured in two first-class matches for Kent during the 1879 season.
[3] He died of dysentery during the war in January 1900 at the military hospital in Pietermaritzburg and is buried at the Fort Napier cemetery.
[6] His father, Andrew, had played for the Gentlemen of England and the family would, on occasions, produce a team of 11 Crawfords.
He had at least two children with his second wife, Loris Muriel Natalie (later Callingham), who died in the torpedoing of RMS Leinster in 1918, and Ivo Frank Fairbairn, who adopted the surname Fairbairn-Crawford and represented Great Britain in athletics at the 1908 Summer Olympics.
