There are many mentions of Charles REYNOLDS in newspapers of the day, mostly with people stealing from his shop, but some family notices, although none of his own marriages.
(You don't mention in your post, but he did remarry in 1845 - to Jane CHARLTON, Dec qtr 1845 Scarboro. 24/630)
I don't have access to parish records that show this marriage, but it might be worth checking who he puts as "father" (or purchase the certificate if possible).
Happy to send newspaper articles to you if you haven't seen them. :)

On the 1845 marriage, father of Charles is noted as Jonathan Reynolds, occupation Farmer. Charles, a widower, is a Grocer.

Thank you to all three of you for your help. Yes, the first wife of Charles, Susannah, died in 1843, and in 1845 Charles remarried, to Jane Charlton,1816 - 1853. The problem is there were two Jonathan Reynolds from Snaith with different dob and wives. I followed the incorrect Jonathan so had to delete the info I had gleaned and start again from Charles 1807. I have actually visited the house where Charles lived in Hunmanby. I would really appreciate it if you could send me newspaper details. Thank you.
