Cornish made a single first-class appearance for Middlesex in 1893 against the touring Australians.[2] In the Australians first-innings, he bowled 3 wicket-less overs. In Middlesex first-innings, he scored a single run before being dismissed by Hugh Trumble. In the Australians second-innings, he bowled 2 further wicket-less overs, while in the Middlesex second-innings, he scored 6 runs before being dismissed by George Giffen.[3]
Two years later he married Florence Gwatkin, before later emigrating to the United States. His marriage to Florence must have ended in divorce, because 5 years later he married a woman called Dorethy in the United States. They had one son, Richard V. C. Cornish.[1] While in America, he played cricket for Belmont Cricket Club,[4] and in 1909 he played for the United States cricket team against Canada.[5] He died in Bala, Pennsylvania on 24 October 1918.
