Dr Kyngdon gained his qualifications in England (LSA London, 1842; Medical Association King’s College London, 1842). He was listed in the 1853 British and Foreign Homœopathic Medical Directory. At that time he practised at Upper Paul Street, Exeter, Devon. In 1866 and 1868 he was listed as practising at the Exeter Homœopathic Dispensary at Rose Hill, 28 Queen Street, Exeter. In the 1870s he practised at The Elms, Park Hill, Croydon. He was author of “Vegetable Organography” (2 volumes – 1839 and 1841), and “Remarks on Enteric or Typhoid Fever”. He contributed several papers to the Homœopathic Times.

In 1896 he was listed as being at Bowral, NSW, where he died on 11 March 1899. He was buried at the St Simon and St Judes Anglican Cemetery.
