The Tyndall family history was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. include Tindale, Tindall, Tindell, Tindle, Tindill and Tindel. This is a locality name meaning 'of Tynedale' describing the first occupants of the banks of the river Tyne. This name is usually of English descent and is found in many ancient manuscripts in that country. Examples of such are a William de Tyndale and a Robertus de Tyndale who were both recorded in the 'Poll Tax' of the West Riding of Yorkshire in the year 1379. Names were recorded in these ancient documents to make it easier for their overlords to collect taxes and to keep records of the population at any given time. When the overlords acquired lands by either force or gifts from their rulers, they created charters of ownership for themselves and their vassals. In Ireland this name is usually of immigrant origin having been introduced into Ulster Province by settlers who arrived from England and Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century.
