Can I please ask what the Query was in relation to Patrick Wordsworth 10858 1st Bn Highland light infantry? I have just found he is related to my wife and I found his 1914-1918 medal in my home just yesterday.
My Wifes Great Grandmother was a Wordsworth and I believe Patrick was her Nephew.

Regards Matt

A common relation I presume?

Duffy is is dhubthaig's surname, so a relation of his wife's is a relation of your wife also Wink

Hi Matt,

Very interesting post. Patrick's grandmother, Roseanne Duffy or Sweeney, was my gg aunt. Patrick was brought up by his granny. PM me your e-mail as I have done comprehensive research through the Duffy line.

Recently found this excerpt from Hansard:

MOTHER'S PENSION (MRS. WORDSWORTH).

HC Deb 11 May 1922 vol 153 c2395W 2395W

Mr. MACLEAN: asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that the parent's pension awarded to Mrs. Wordsworth, of 123, Blackburn Street, Plantation, Glasgow, on account of her son, Lance-Corporal Patrick Wordsworth, No. 10858, Highland Light Infantry, has been stopped since the month of March; that this woman is 60 years of age and totally unable to earn her livelihood, and has no other source of income than this pension; and whether he will take steps to see that this pension is renewed?

Mr. MACPHERSON: I am looking into this case, and will communicate with my hon. Friend at an early date.
