Lindsay seems to have been was a talented amateur boxer as a young man, and some of his bouts were mentioned in the local press: “The Sydney Boxing: Fixtures: … North Sydney Stadium: Wednesday … Flyweight: … (includes) … F. Feackes v. Lyn Pynsent” (Sydney Morning Herald: Monday 25th May 1936). Lindsay served in the Australian army during the Second World War (Australia, World War II Military Service Records: 1939 – 1945) and worked for his father, a dairyman, delivering milk when he returned. Unfortunately, the dairy seems to have hit a bad patch. Lindsay and his brother George were caught selling short-measured pints on separate occasions in December 1945 and were fined £10 8s and £7 8s respectively (St. George Call (Kogarah): Friday 21st December 1945). Lindsay as the older of the two was thought to be more culpable.
Lindsay married Joan Flood in 1949. It was her second marriage. Her previous husband having died two years previously. I am not sure if Lindsay and Joan had children. She died in March 1971 (Sydney Morning Herald: 19th March 1971) and he died in June 1998 (Findagrave.com). By then, he was a retired electrician. He had been living in Sutherland, New South Wales.
