Edward Corrie
- This article is on the late rower. For the tennis player see Edward Corrie (tennis).
Edward Lyall Corrie (January 1848 - 1931) was an English rower who won Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta three times.
Corrie was born in Liverpool, the son of Edgar Corrie, a merchant, and his wife Helen.[1]
Corrie moved to London where he became a discount broker. He rowed for Kingston Rowing Club where he was coached by Walter Bradford Woodgate. In 1866, he partnered Woodgate to win Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta.[2] This was the infamous occasion when Woodgate entered the event twice, using the name Wat Bradford in the other entry when he partnered another Kingstonian M M Brown. The rules of entry at the regatta were subsequently revised to prevent this.[3] Corrie partnered M M Brown in 1867 to win Silver Goblets again. In 1870 Corrie partnered E Hall for his third win of SIlver Goblets. He was captain of Kingston in 1872 when he was party to the revision of the laws of Boat Racing.[4]
Corrie died at Reigate at the age of 83.
Corrie married Julia Sophia Hammond at St George Hanover Square in 1872.
