John Edmund Byass (8 May 1854 – 6 June 1936) was an English first-class cricketer of the 1870s who later lived in Australia.
Byass was educated at Christ College, Finchley. He played four first-class matches for Kent between 1874 and 1876.[1][2]
Byass and his wife Alice migrated to Australia in 1876, first settling in Melbourne, then moving in 1885 to Shepparton, where he had purchased a business as an auctioneer and estate agent. He was appointed secretary of the Shepparton Agricultural Society in 1892, and served in that position for 36 years.[3][4] He was secretary of the Shepparton Urban Waterworks Trust from 1897 until his death in 1936. Alice had died in 1927.[5] They had four daughters.[6]
