Ulick John Browne, 7th Marquess Of Sligo, 5th Earl Of Clanricarde
Ulick is a masculine given name in the English language. It is an Anglicised form of the Irish ''Uilleac'' and ''Uilleag''. These Irish names are of an uncertain origin, although they are thought most probably to be derived from the Old Norse ''Hugleikr''. This Old Norse name is composed of two elements: the first, ''hugr'', means "heart", "mind", "spirit"; the second element, ''leikr'', means "play", "sport". The other possibility is that the Irish names are diminutive forms of ''Uilliam'', the Irish form of the English '' William''.

English Language
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots, and then closest related to the Low Saxon and Frisian languages, English is genealogically West Germanic. However, its vocabulary is also distinctively influenced by dialects of France (about 29% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 29%), plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language). Speakers of English are called Anglophones. The earliest forms of English, collectively known as Old English, evolved from a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in the 8th and 9th ...

Ulick Considine
Stanley George Ulick Considine, born at Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh on 11 August 1901 and died at Bath, Somerset on 31 August 1950, was a first-class cricketer who played as an amateur for Somerset in the 1920s. Considine was also a rugby union player, appearing at stand-off half for Bath, Somerset and, once, for England in France in 1925, though in his one international appearance he played on the wing. He was badly injured in that match and, according to one report, his enthusiasm for sport of all kinds diminished after that. Educated at Blundell's School, Considine first played cricket for Somerset in 1919, and in 1921 and 1922 was a regular member of the side as a right-handed middle order batsman and a fine cover fielder. His one century was an unbeaten 130 in the match against Worcestershire at Taunton in July 1921. His best season was 1922, when he scored 973 runs and came third in Somerset's batting averages. Wisden wrote of him: "He is so young that if he can spare time ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
