He was born at Madras, India, eldest son of Nathaniel Edward Kindersley, and educated at Haileybury and Trinity College, Cambridge, becoming a fellow in 1815 and M.A. in 1817.[1] He was called to the Bar (Lincoln's Inn) in 1818 and developed a Chancery practice. From 1847 to 1851, he served as Chancellor of the County Palatine of Durham. In 1848 he was appointed Master in Chancery, followed by an appointment as Vice-Chancellor in 1851. He had a reputation as a sound equity judge.[2] He retired in 1866, but continued to sit on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.[3]
