I'm keen to find Charles Reynolds too! He was my 2x gt grandfather. Was he from Balne, in Snaith parish? The 1851 & 1871 census suggests this, in conjunction with 1861 showing Snaith . He was a grocer and draper, and can also be found in the 1834 Trade Directory (on line at Genuki) By the way, in the 1871 census he was living or staying in Newport, Shropshire, with his son in law Thomas Picken and daughter Elizabeth (my gt grandparents).
Does anyone know any more about a possible Sir Joshua Reynolds connection?
