The son of Henry William Adair, he was born Worksop in May 1832. He was educated at Rugby School,[1] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford.[2] He made two appearances in first-class cricket while a student at Oxford, but did not appear for Oxford University. His first appearance came in 1852 for Sheffield against Manchester at Manchester, with his second appearance coming the following season for the Gentlemen of England against the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's.[3] After graduating from Oxford in 1855, he became an Anglican clergyman.
