Thank you for commenting, Julie!
If you enter ‘wrestling’ in the site search bar, there are a few other posts about another famous wrestler – William Wreford.
I wasn’t able to find any info on Herbert’s olympic career so far – presumably the England team? Do you know which year/s he competed?
Were you aware that Robert and Dorothy appear on table A3 of the Wreford Pedigree? Unfortunately, it doesn’t mention their children’s names but you can see the table using the menu in the site header. 🙂

I am compiling my family tree and discovered that one of my ancestors, Robert How 1650-1711 married Dorothy Wreford 1652-1707. As far as I know, they had three children. I have read your post with much interest, especially about the life and times of “Blind Wreford” as my grandfather Herbert Sidney How (1891-1972) was an Olympic Bantom Wrestler in the early 1900s.

Hello [very] distant cousin! Thanks for commenting. I’m curious about where your Wrefords settled when they first arrived in America..?

I am an American Wreford, actually Raiford, as it transformed after the trip across the pond. According to other Family Trees, I am from the John – Roger – John – John side of things (from Table A-1). From John, it was Elias – Phillip – Phillip, with the later Phillip making the trip to America in the late 1600’s.
