Its always good when someone takes the time to confirm that the help / hints given have helped ( or otherwise !)

I am in the process of filling in the entire family tree on ancestry.co.uk which I will leave as public if anyone is interested but the basics are :

Richard Tyndall (b 1789 Dursley, lived Littledean, d 1875 Cinderford)
m
Sarah Leonard (b 1792, Coaley)
(married 26 May 1812 Old Sodbury d 1869)

They seem to have had 11 children.
One of these Henry was my great-great grandfather)

Henry Tyndall (b 21 Oct 1814 Tewkesbury, d 1888 Stoke Newington
m
Margaret ? Mary Ann
(b Ludlow 1817)

According to the London City Mission Obituary of my great-grandfather (Richard Tyndall) his father (Henry) was a master wheelwright in Great Ormond Yard, London with a prosperous business. They wanted Richard to go into the ministry but he persued business interests until becoming a London City Missionary in 1885. It also says that his grandfather (Richard Tyndall from Dursley) was a Baptist Minister which would explain his travelling and why the children were born in different places.

Son of Henry and Margaret was Richard Tyndall who married Elizabeth Todner Watson (from country Durham). They had two daughters - my Grandmother Winifred May Tyndall (b 1908 London) and Kathleen Annie Tyndall b 1911, my great-aunt.
(There seems to have been a previous marriage and a son, Reginald but this is a complete surprise and there is no family knowledge at all).

They lived in Greenwich and Charlton, London.

Gran married a Reginald Gilbert - they had two children, Antony Gilbert (my uncle) and my mother Kathleen Rosemary Gilbert (b 1938). They lived in Bromley, Kent.

Mum married Brian Steer (Dad) in 1961 and then they had me in 1964! I have two siblings as well.

Well, you didn't need to know all of that but I am very excited to trace my family back to Gloucestershire and am planning a trip with mum in September to visit some key places. thank you all once again and if any of you are interested in the Tyndall family line in general please get in touch.

Best wishes

I made a mistake in my origonal email. My great-grandfather, Richard Tyndall was born in 1845 (not 1855) and he died in 1922 aged 76. I have so many dates that I managed to confuse myself!

Thanks once again.

from here it becomes a bit hit and miss I'm afraid - need some cross references to build anything solid.

However this couple could be Richard 1789 born Dursley and Sarah, their children's birth places reflect a wandering Methodist preacher !

John might be a link to your London preacher's family { looks like the London preacher is a grandson of this Richard )

My Grandmother's (maternal) maiden name was Tyndall. She and her sister (my great-aunt) told me when I was little that we were descendants of the family of William the translator.

Unfortunately, they are both dead and any family knowledge died with them. I have just started looking at my family history and do know that my great-grandfather, was a London City Missionary. In the LCM magazine of 1922 there is an obituary to him saying that he was indeed a descendant of William Tyndale and that he was the grandson of a baptist of a Baptist minister.

My great-grandfather was Richard Tyndall, born Clerkenwell, London 1855 and he died in Woolwich, London 1922, aged 67.

I wonder if my great-great-great grandfather was Richard Tyndall, born in Dursley 1789 who preached at the Baptist church in Cinderford.

I would appreciate anyone who knows about this Richard Tyndall, his ancestors and descendants.

Many thanks

Sue Steer
