Hi, as you've probably figured out this name has been spelled many ways mostly due to the country of origin or because of lack of knowledge of the person doing the spelling. Some of the most common spellings are, Reliford, Releford, Retherford, Rutherford and many others. I've seen some of my own family spell the name Relford so it is real confusing when trying to track the name. Hope that helps. I'm sure my name was originally spelled Releford although I've seen my mother and other family members spell it Reliford. On my birth record it is spelled Releford so that is what I've used.
