The son of William Walker Pulman senior, he was born in November 1852 at Wellington, Somerset. He was educated at Marlborough College, [1] before going up to St John's College, Oxford. [2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1874. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1875, making ten appearances, which included two appearances in The University Match against Cambridge. [3] He scored 271 runs in his ten matches, at an average of 18.06 and with a high score of 46. [4] He was described by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as “a free hitting batsman with sound style and could field with distinction anywhere”. [5]
