William Curran (umpire)

William Gregory Curran (1861/1862 – 23 December 1921 at Sydney) was an Australian Test cricket umpire.

[1] Curran's other Test match was between Australia and England, played at the Sydney Cricket Ground in December 1911.

This was won by Australia with Victor Trumper scoring a record eighth Test century, and "Ranji'" Hordern taking 12 wickets.

[3] Johnnie Moyes, who played during his era, describes him as "little Billy Curran of Sydney, who, we thought, had a perfect horror of giving batsmen out leg-before-wicket".

[7] He died at home in the Sydney suburb of Waverley in December 1921 after a long illness, aged 59, survived by his wife and their six young children.
