About Frederick Hindle

Lived 1877 – 1953 (aged 75). Frederick Hindle was a British politician.

Sir Frederick Hindle (28 July 1877 – 23 April 1953) was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom, who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for the Darwen constituency in Lancashire from 1923 to 1924.

Background Hindle was born in Darwen, the son of Frederick George Hindle and Helen Moulden (Gillibrand) Hindle. He was educated at Charterhouse School and Owens College, Manchester. He married Alys Lawrence.

Political career Hindle served as Mayor of Darwen from 1912 to 1913. He was appointed an Alderman Lancashire County Council. He succeeded his father as prospective Liberal candidate for Darwen. He contested the Darwen seat at the 1918 general election against his father's nemesis, Sir John Rutherford. At that election, Rutherford was endorsed by the Coalition Government and Hindle's prospects of victory were undercut by the intervention of a Labour Party candidate. Despite these setbacks, he came within 1,000 vote of gaining the seat. Four years later at the 1922 general election, he again lost by a majority of less than 1,000 votes. He won the seat at the 1923 general election, but lost it at the 1924 general election, and did not stand for Parliament again.
