  • Name: Reynolds, Elizabeth (née Mansel)
  • Gender: Female
  • Death Date: 1848
  • Occupation: actress

Married to , dramatist.

There are a considerable number of specific entries for Mrs Reynolds, both before her marriage and after, and there does seem to be considerable independent contact. But, in addition, entries for 'Reynolds's' have been taken to include Frederick (senr) and Elizabeth. These are plentiful between 1799 and 1802, but decline dramatically thereafter, possibly as a result of the arrival of children. This style of entry seems to disappear for a number of years, when contact generally falls dramatically. Above all, there are no suppers at Reynolds, when Godwin had been a very regular visitor at this time. Note also the 2-year hiatus between 1807 and 1809. The 'two Reynoldses' entry in 1809 is taken to be husband and wife. The pattern of contact diminishes further in the 1810s with most contacts being adv's at the Theatre, in the case of Reynolds, or with more direct contact with Mrs Reynolds. However, in 1825 and thereafter, contact resumes with great frequency, similar to that of the 1790s.

See DNB.

Entries for F and R Reynolds have accordingly been coded for Frederick Snr and Richard Senr, until the mid 1820s, when the pattern of interaction seems to change. 'FR' begins to appear at Reynolds', which suggests the son and the from the pattern of contact it seems that Godwin develops a close relationship with Frederick the son as well as maintaining in touch with the father. Contacts with the younger brother Richard are also recorded. Godwin does raise further questions when, in 1831, he start using 'FMR' for Frederick Junr. but there is little to suggest that we should read 'FR' entries prior or subsequent to this as referring to the father. Subsequent entries that certainly refer to Frederick senr using plain Reynolds, suggest that the move to 'FMR'(for Frederick junr) is temporary and of no significance.

In the Abinger Papers there is a letter from Frederick Reynolds that is catalogued as from F. M. Reynolds. However, there is simply insufficient evidence to confirm the attribution, and the reference to Mrs Reynolds in the letter suggests it might be Frederick Reynolds senr.
