Girling was born at Burton upon Trent in 1807. He made his debut in first-class cricket for the North against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in 1841, with Girling also featuring in the return fixture at Burton-on-Trent.[1] He next played first-class cricket in 1845, when he appeared for Manchester against Yorkshire at Manchester.
