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.
