Percival Andree Pickering (8 February 1810 – 7 August 1876) was an English first-class cricketer and lawyer.
Pickering made a single appearance in first-class cricket in 1846 for the Surrey Club against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's.[1] He batted in both Surrey Club innings', being dismissed without scoring by William Hillyer in their first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by Jemmy Dean for 3 runs.[2]
Pickering married Anne Maria Spencer-Stanhope. The couple had four children: the Pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn De Morgan,[3] chemist and horticulturist Percival Spencer Umfreville Pickering;[4] Rowland Neville Umfreville (1861–1931) and the author Anna Pickering. He died at Dover in August 1876. His brother, William, was fundamental in the formation of Surrey County Cricket Club.
