Some Famous People called Edward Solly
Edward Walter Solly
Edward Walter Solly (7 May 1882 – 12 February 1966) was an English first-class cricketer who played eight matches for Worcestershire as a professional between 1903 and 1907.
Born in Eastry, Kent, Solly made his debut against Cambridge University in early June 1903, taking a single wicket, that of Leonard Harper. That was his only appearance that season; the following summer he again played once, this time against Oxford University, taking two wickets and hitting his highest score, 43, from number ten in the order.
In 1905 Solly played two County Championship games with reasonable success: he took seven wickets at 25.28, including a career best of 3–25 against Gloucestershire. He played a single match the following year (against Oxford) and in 1907 appeared twice more in the Championship, claiming 3–66 in what proved to be his last innings' bowling, against Somerset.
He died in Wales at the age of 83, in Cefn Mably, Glamorgan.

Edward Solly (25 April 1776 – 2 December 1844) was an English merchant living in Berlin, who amassed an unprecedented collection of Italian Trecento and Quattrocento paintings and outstanding examples of Early Netherlandish painting, at a time when those schools were still largely unappreciated. In 1821 Solly sold his collection of about 3000 works to the Prussian king; 677 of them formed a core of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. Solly acquired a second collection during his years in London after 1821. Solly is also credited for having undertaken a perilous journey to deliver the first news of Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Leipzig to the English.
