William Henry Woolhouse (bapt.1791-1837) was the son of Joseph (c.1758-1829) and Mary.  By the 1820s, Joseph was a table knife cutler and landlord of the Bull & Oak in the Wicker; his son was a merchant and manufacturer of table knives in Carver Street.  William Henry married Mary, the daughter of George Steer, a victualler and master of Darnall Cricket Ground.  In 1826, George retired and handed the cricket ground to his son-in-law.  George was found dead in the canal near Attercliffe on 16 November 1827, aged 63.  The inquest verdict was ‘found drowned’; however, suicide was suspected (Sheffield Independent, 24 November 1827).  In 1828, W. H. Woolhouse was bankrupt.  In 1830, he began running Hyde Park Cricket Ground, but was insolvent again in 1835.  He died in London on 14 July 1837, aged 46.  His burial was at All Hallows Church, Lombard Street.
