Harry Morgan Longridge married Annie Victoria (Avie) Mallory, sister of George Herbert Mallory and Trafford Leigh Mallory, daughter of Herbert Leigh Mallory, Rector from 1885 to 1904, in 1910 and moved to Rathlin in Church Lane. Harry and Avie had five children.The youngest, Christopher Leigh Mallory Longridge died aged 21 when the SS Almeda Star was torpedoed off the northwest coast of Ireland in 1941. After the war, Harry and Avie moved to Graffham in Sussex where Harry died in 1967 and Avie in 1989.
Christopher's eldest sibling, Robert, married Eleanor Mason in 1939 and died in Salisbury in 1978. John Beswick Longridge died aged 39 in 1951. Mary Longridge married Peter Dalglish in 1941. They too moved south, their children being born in Surrey and Sussex. Benjamin Begbie Longridge married Stella Gillett in 1950 and died aged 81 on the Isle of Wight.
Harry Morgan Longridge was the son of Robert Charles Longridge, a consultant mechanical engineer who moved to Knutsford from Northumberland and lived near the Vicarage on Toft Road. He became the first Chairman of Knutsford Urban District Council and served in that capacity from 1895 to 1898. The postwar housing development in Knutsford was presumably named after him. Another son, Robert Begbie Longridge, emigrated to Canada to become a rancher in 1912. Knutsford on Prince Edward island in Canada was named by him after his 'home' town.
