Doris Mildred Coysh (1908-1986) was an English cricketer. She played in the first four Test matches, which were played during England's successful tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1934-35, although her personal performances were disappointing. She also played for East Women, Middlesex Women, South Women and Sussex Women.

Personal life

Coysh was born Doris Mildred Turner in 1908 in West Ham, Essex, the daughter of Henry Turner and Mildred Caroline (Carrie) Palmer. In 1936, Turner married Arthur William Henry Coysh (1896-1992), a divorced man with no children, in Wandsworth. They had no children. Coysh died in 1986 in Wandsworth, and was followed by her husband, Arthur, in Bath, Somerset in 1992.

Career

In 1959, as Doris Coysh she became the first woman cricket umpire.[1] She went on to umpire in two women's Test matches, the second Test between England and Australia in 1963, and the third Test between England and New Zealand in 1966.[2]
