Pickeman was born at Dublin in May 1893 to William and Janet Pickeman, Scottish immigrants to Ireland.[1] His father was responsible for laying out the course at Portmarnock Golf Club.[1] He served in World War I with the British Army, reaching the rank of Corporal in the Royal Engineers.[1] Following the war, he returned to Ireland and began to play club cricket for Pembroke and occasionally Leinster.[1] He made his debut for Ireland in a minor match against Wales at Cardiff.[2] He made one appearance in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Glenpark in 1926.[3] Batting twice in the match, Pickeman was dismissed for 2 runs by Gilbert Hole in Ireland's first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed without scoring by Alexander Forrester.[4] He continued to play club cricket in Dublin until 1931.[1] Outside of cricket, he worked as a chemist.[1] He died at Dublin in June 1945.[1]
