William Love (1810-1885) was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for West Sydney from 1860 to 1864. Love served as Chairman of the Sydney Revenues Improvement Bill Committee.[1]
Love married to Ellinor Robinson at Fintona, Ireland in 1838 and they arrived in Sydney in 1841 as bounty immigrants in the Brothers. The family settled on the Coppabella Run at Tumbarumba, New South Wales, owned by Love's father-in-law, James Robinson (d.1868).
After failing on the land, in 1850 Love opened a retail grocery shop at 476 George Street with his son James as a partner. In 1875 William was appointed police magistrate at Gundagai.[2]
