Charles Amherst Daniel-Tyssen (11 December 1856 – 26 December 1940) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
The son of Francis Samuel Daniel-Tyssen (1813–1875) and his wife, Eliza Julia Knight-Bruce, he was born in December 1856 at Sandgate, Kent.[1] Among his siblings were Ellen Blanche Daniel-Tyssen (wife of William W. P. Fletcher) and Maria Harriet Arabella Daniel-Tyssen (first wife of Wilfred Joseph Cripps).
His paternal grandparents were William George Daniel-Tyssen, High Sheriff of Norfolk, and Amelia (Amherst) Daniel-Tyssen. His first cousin was William Tyssen-Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst of Hackney. His maternal grandparents were of Sir James Knight-Bruce and Eliza Mountford (Newte) Knight-Bruce.
He was educated firstly at Tonbridge School in 1869 to 1870, before attending Harrow School.[2] From Harrow he studied at Merton College, Oxford.[3]
While studying at Oxford, Daniel-Tyssen made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of England against Oxford University at Oxford in 1877.[4] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 2 runs in the Gentlemen of England first-innings by Frederick Jellicoe, while in their second-innings he was dismissed without scoring by Arthur Heath.[5]
After graduating from Oxford in 1880, he became an Anglican clergyman. He was the curate of Highweek in Devon from 1880 - 83, before changing denomination and joining the Catholic Church in 1883.[3] He took up a teaching position at St Edmund's College, Ware in 1883, before serving with the South Africa Company in Bechuanaland in 1891. He later returned to the Anglican church.[3]
He died at Sandgate on Christmas Day in 1940.[6]
