He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University from 1859 to 1861, Sussex from 1860 to 1869 and for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) from 1861 to 1873. Onslow was born at Chittore, Madras, India, the second son of Thomas Onslow of the Madras Civil Service and his wife Elizabeth Sarah Roberts, daughter of Charles Roberts of Madras.
