Reginald Hargreaves - Personal Life

Personal Life

Hargreaves married Alice Liddell – the inspiration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland – on 15 September 1880 in Westminster Abbey. They had three sons: Alan Knyveton Hargreaves and Leopold Reginald "Rex" Hargreaves (both were killed in action in World War I); and Caryl Liddell Hargreaves, who survived to have a daughter of his own.

Hargreaves' brother-in-law Robert Henderson (no relation to his more famous namesake) played 24 first-class games, mostly for Middlesex, between 1872 and 1878.
