Augustus Hemming

Sir Augustus William Lawson Hemming GCMG (2 September 1841 – 27 March 1907) was a British colonial administrator, who acted as governor of a number of colonies, including British Guiana (1896-1898) and Jamaica (1898-1904).[1]

In April 1902, Sir Augustus Hemming (as governor of Jamaica) and Lady Hemming visited Cuba as guests of Military Governor Leonard Wood.[2]

Hemming was also a first-class cricketer. He played six first-class matches: five for various teams in England between 1866 and 1878, and one in 1902 when he was Governor of Jamaica and aged 60.[3][4][5]
