Speight family - England

I spoke with my mother today to obtain more specific information about her Father, Harold Speight.His parents were Lillian Colly (not Colby as I originally thought) and Thomas Speight.Harold Speight was born in Leeds, England specifically Beaston Hill.They made a number of trips to the USA at the turn of the century so some of Harold's brothers and sisters were born in NY/NJ area.The brothers and sisters of Harold Speight include Thomas Speight who had twin sons who graduated from the Air Force Academy, Stanley Speight who was last known to live in South Hampton, NY, Beatrice Speight who was last known to live in Palm Beach, FL and A(E)lethia Speight Cleaver who had a daughter named A(E)lethia as well.
Thomas Speight (Harold's Father) laid cobblestone as a living.He helped lay many of the original cobblestone street in NYC at the turn of the century.
My mother's father, Harold Speight, was married 3 times and has a son named Harold from one of his first two marriages.
If anyone has any information on any of these people (i.e. birth and death info, etc.) I would love to have [email protected]
