The son of John Tindall, he was born at Leighton Buzzard in May 1878.[1] Tindall joined the civil service in October 1902,[2] later being appointed to the Indian Civil Service in British India, where he rose in rank to become to secretary to the Government of Bengal. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire in the 1919 New Year Honours.[3] A keen cricketer, Tindall played first-class cricket in 1904 for London County, captained by W. G. Grace, in one match against Cambridge University at Fenner's.[4] Batting twice in the match, he ended the London County first innings unbeaten on 9, while in their second innings he was dismissed for a single run by John Hopley.[5] In later life he took an interest in the Codex Sinaiticus, publishing research on the subject.[6] Toward the end of his life he was resident in Exeter with his wife, Elsie.[1] Elsie was killed in the Second World War during an air raid on the city in 1943.[7] Tindall lived out his final years in the Devon village of Littleham, where he died in April 1951.
