I am related to Harold Thomas Riggulsford (1892-1912) through his grandfather Robert Rigglesford (1825-1884) – the spellings are frequently interchangeable – who is one of my direct ancestors. Robert’s son Robert Thomas Riggulsford (1856-?) married Elizabeth Ann Body (1860-?) in 1877 and they had at least 10 children, including Harold Thomas Riggulsford (1892-1914) and a daughter Rose Florence Riggulsford (1884-1978) who married George Arthur Crockford (1883-1914) in 1910 and she had at least one son Stephen born before she was married and two grandchildren. As far as I know Harold’s brother, George Wilfred E Riggulsford born 1896 married in 1920 and lived until 1977.
