After failing on the land, in 1850 Love opened a retail grocery shop at 476 George Street with his son James Robinson Love as a partner. In 1875 William was appointed police magistrate at Gundagai,[2] and he died there in 1885.

He was married to Ellinor Robinson at Fintona, Ireland and had 7 children. His son Milton Love became a well known Sydney stipendiary magistrate.
