Family
In 1838 Wordsworth married Susanna Hartley Frere (d. 1884) and had seven children. The elder son, John (1843–1911), was Bishop of Salisbury, founder of Bishop Wordsworth's School, Salisbury, and author of Fragments of Early Latin (1874); the eldest daughter, Elizabeth (1840–1932), was the founder (in 1878) of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford and its first principal in 1879. His daughter Dora married Edward Tucker Leeke, Canon and sub-dean of Lincoln Cathedral. His younger son Christopher (1848–1938) was a noted liturgical scholar.
His Life, by J. H. Overton and Elizabeth Wordsworth, was published in 1888.
