Charles Nepean

The Rev. Charles Edward Burroughs Nepean (5 February 1851 – 26 March 1903) was an English amateur cricketer and footballer who later became a vicar in the Church of England. As a cricketer he played ten first class matches for Oxford University and Middlesex between 1870 and 1874, whilst in football he was in goal for Oxford University, the winning side in the 1874 FA Cup Final.

Nepean was born in Mayfair, London, the youngest of 13 children of Rev. Canon Evan Nepean (1800–1873) and Anne Fust. His father was the son of Sir Evan Nepean, 1st Baronet and was the Canon of Westminster and a Chaplain in Ordinary to Queen Victoria. His mother was the daughter of Sir Herbert Jenner-Fust, the eminent judge.

In the 1851 census, the family were living at 21 Bolton Street, St George Hanover Square, Westminster; Charles was listed as "Charles Son 2 mth., born St Georges Hanover". At the time of the 1861 census, he was listed as a pupil at Charterhouse, London, although the family were still living at Bolton Street. Ten years later, he was at home (now in the cloisters of St. Peter, Westminster) at the time of the census, where he is listed as "Charley B Son 20".
