William Henry Hadow was a Londoner by birth and one of the seven sons of Patrick Douglas Hadow, a barrister-at-law, and Emma Diana Harriott Hadow (née Nisbet). The Hadow family lived near Harrow public school in London, which Patrick Douglas Hadow had attended, and he sent all of his sons there too. They thus became known as the “Harrow Hadows”.

Hadow was a noted schoolboy cricketer at Harrow, mentioned by Harry Altham as one of “a striking array of school batsmen”. He went on to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he continued to be a noted player and Altham described him as one of “a steady stream of exceptional batsmen from the ranks of the Universities”.
An all-rounder, Hadow was a right-handed batsman and a right arm roundarm slow bowlerwho made 97 first-class appearances from 1869 to 1884. He represented several teams but mostly Middlesex, Oxford University and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Hadow scored 3,071 runs at an average of 19.56 with a highest innings of 217, one of two centuries in addition to ten half-centuries.
He held 84 catches and took 139 wickets at an average of 16.84 with a best analysis of 8/35. He took five wickets in an innings on nine occasions and three times took ten in a match. Below first-class he played at county level for Brecknockshore and, in 1868 and 1869, for Shropshire.
Hadow died aged 48 at Dupplin Castle, Perthshire, his father-in-law’s home, on 15 September 1898. At the time of his death, he was Her Majesty's Commissioner for Prisons for Scotland. His wife was Lady Constance Hay, daughter of George Hay-Drummond, 12th Earl of Kinnoull, and they had two sons and a daughter.
