The son of James and Rebecca Bilton (née Ship), he was born at Cambridge in May 1839.[1] A keen cricketer, he made three appearances in first-class cricket between 1859 and 1866 as a wicket-keeper for Cambridge Town Club (playing as Cambridgeshire in 1866), with all three of his first-class matches coming against Cambridge University.[2] He scored 25 runs in his three matches, with a highest score of 11.[3] Outside of cricket, Bilton was by profession a clerk and music teacher; his musical interest included his membership of both the King's College and Trinity College choirs at the University of Cambridge.[1] Bilton died at Cambridge in August 1916.[1]
