Early life and education


Eldest son of Montague Ainslie, sometime of Bengal,[1] and Sophia Mary, daughter of George Poyntz Ricketts,[2] he was born at Humeerpore in British India. His brother William George Ainslie was a businessman and politician.[3][4]

Ainslie attended Eton College, where he captained the college cricket team, before going up to Christ Church, Oxford in 1841.[5] Entering Gray's Inn on 22 November 1845, he was called to the bar on 20 November 1850.[6]



Ainslie had a successful career as a barrister; from the 1860s until 1871, he was counsel to the Speaker of the House of Commons, and was examiner of election recognizances.[7]


Cricket


While at Oxford he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Bullingdon Green in 1843. He played first-class cricket for Oxford on seven further occasions up to 1845.[8] He later made two further appearances in first-class matches, playing for the MCC against Oxford University in 1847, before playing for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Gentlemen of England in 1849.[8] A poor batsman of unknown-handedness, Ainslie scored 98 runs in his ten first-class matches, averaging just 5.44.[9] As a bowler it is known he took 4 wickets, however due to incomplete records, it is only known that he took a maximum of 3 in one innings.[9]


Personal life


Ainslie inherited his father's property, Hawkshead, at Grizedale, Ambleside, on the east side of Windermere, Westmorland (the estate, per some accounts, reckoned to be part of Lancashire),[10][11] where he died on 22 March 1896. He was a Justice of the peace for Lancashire.[12][13]
