         Ralph Tough of county Leicester was one of four children of Thomas and Susan Tough. Ralph and two of his siblings were not of age when they were named in their father's will in 1586 so his birth is estimated at about 1570. His wife's name and his death date are unknown. It is possible that he had another daughter, Joane Tough, who married Thomas Hoye at Burrough-on-the-Hill in 1632.
         Ralph's name first appears in the Court Rolls in 1593, a year after his mothers death. He is probably the Ralph Tough who figures as churchwarden at Borough in 1612.
