Notes for Frederick Reginald Harford
He appears in the 1891 census but not in the 1901 one. He is not on the Commonwealth War Graves site for deaths in a World War. Possibly he has more details in a later Burke’s Landed Gents that my most recent one of 1914.
In 1911 he was 29 and still a 1st Lieut in the Scots Guards, apparently at Kashbhelan(?) Barracks in Cairo.
The following is a Frederick R Harford marriage, but is it his?

And there were then two daughters born to this couple:

Births Jun 1919 (>99%)
Harford Pamela V Lardelli Kensington 1a 115
One or two internet sites have the same information and give it as a fact that this marriage occurred and that these were their two daughters.
The only firm answer is to obtain the Harford-Lardelli marriage certificate as this should give the name of his father, who would have been alive then.
But continuing the speculations, the possible first daughter may have married:
