John Edmund Bentley (1847–12 December 1913) was an English sportsman who played in the first international rugby football match in 1871, representing England as a halfback.

Early life

John Edmund Bentley was born in Calver, Derbyshire, the second son of Alfred Crompton,[7] an industrialist and Charlotte Selina Wilson. Alfred Compton Bentley (12 January 1812[2] - 1857)[3] was the son of John Bentley and Martha Chetham, and younger brother to the wealthy John Wansey Nathaniel Bentley. He had married Charlotte Selina Wilson on 28 April 1842.[4] He became an industrialist and at the time of John's birth had moved his family to Calver, Derbyshire, where was managing a cotton spinning business at Calver Mills, near Bakewell, along with Robert Philips Greg.[5]

John attended Merchant Taylors School in Middlesex, where the sport of rugby was in its infancy. After leaving school he stayed in London and joined the civil service. Some time after his father's death in 1857 the family moved to London and by 1861 were resident in the London parish of Kensington St Mary Abbott. Here John resided with his mother, his older sister Charlotte, older brother Alfred, and younger siblings, Eleanor, Walter and Arthur.[6] The family were still living in Kensington in 1871[7]

Rugby union

Bentley continued to watch international rugby right up to his last years. His obituary in his old school's magazine, The Taylorian of 1914, recalled that "he appeared at the South Africa v. England Match last year wearing in his button·hole the old English rose that had figured on his jersey in his International Matches."[9]

Career and later life

John Edmund Bentley married Margaret Richardson, eldest daughter of George Clerihew, MD Inspector-General of Hospitals, on 23 April 1874 at St Barnabas, Kensington[8][10] The couple quickly had two children, Edmund Clerihew Bentley (born 1 July 1875) and Margaret Helen Elizabeth Bentley (born 1877). The family lived in Hammersmith, London and John's occupation was a professional clerk, by 1881 being a Clerk In General Office of the Supreme Court Of Judicature.[11] John and Margaret had at least two more children, Francis Bernard Bentley and Walter Basil Bentley and by 1891 were residing with John's uncle John Nathaniel Bentley.[12] In 1901 John was still practicing as a clerk, being a civil service clerk 2nd class.[13] John's eldest son, Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875–1956) became a famous writer, journalist, and was also renowned as the inventor of the 'clerihew', a form of poetry.[14] John Edmund Bentley died on 12 December 1913.
