William Reynolds love token (front)

William Reynolds, 21, house servant and cook, was tried and convicted at Warwick Assizes on 4 April 1829 for stealing a lamp. He was sentenced to 14 years’ transportation. He sailed for Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) on the Mary on 15 December 1829.

Reynolds’s conduct record does indicate that at the time of his transportation he was married to 'Ann'. He was married again, in 1841, to a woman named Eliza Campbell. He received a pardon in 1854 and died in 1887. This token appears to have been engraved by the same hand as that for David Poultney’s token. Poultney was also convicted at Warwick Assizes in April 1829.
