Middleton was born in Leeds in May 1911, the son of Henry Dubs Middleton and Jane Dorothy Elizabeth Middleton (née Berney), daughter of Sir Henry Hanson Berney, 9th Baronet.[1][2] He was educated at Charterhouse School, before going up to University College, Oxford.[3] He was a successful golfer.[4] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1933, making four appearances.[5] He scored 128 runs in his four matches, at an average of 21.33 and a high score of 44.[6] With his right-arm medium pace bowling, he took four wickets with best figures of 3 for 60.[7] Middleton died in Scotland in September 1984 at Southend, Argyll. Other members of Middleton's family who were "well known" sportsmen include his cousin, Robert Carrington Middleton (1875-1916) who reportedly was also born in Leeds and boarded at Marlborough College where he learned the game of hockey, later representing the county of Yorkshire in that sport.[8]
