Biographical details unknown.
Custodial History
Owned, and possibly copied by 'John Russell Reynolds, Romsey', whose name appears on the flyleaf. Reynolds (1828-1896, later Sir John Russell Reynolds bart., physician to Queen Victoria) was the son of Rev. John Reynolds (1782-1862), Congregational minister at Romsey, in whose chapel these tunes were presumably sung.
Other owners include 'Penny Lont (?)', 'Best' (probably Margaret Ellen Best, a niece of John Russell Reynolds), and John Michael Popkin (a great-great-nephew).
