لقد قمت على تفحص سيرته الذاتية في وكيبيدا باللغة الانجليزية وتبين ان حياتة كانت اكثر مأساوية مما هو موضح باللغة العربية وهي كما يلي :

The second of five children born to John Wordsworth and Ann Cookson, William Wordsworth was born on 7 April 1770 in Wordsworth House in Cockermouth, Cumberland[—part of the scenic region in northwest England, the Lake District.

His sister, the poet and diarist Dorothy Wordsworth, to whom he was close all his life, was born the following year, and the two were baptised together.

They had three other siblings: Richard, the eldest, who became a lawyer; John, born after Dorothy, who went to sea and died in 1805 when the ship of which he was Master, Earl of Abergavenny was wrecked off the south coast of England;

and Christopher, the youngest, who entered the Church and rose to be Master of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Their father was a legal representative of James Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale and, through his connections, lived in a large mansion in the small town. Wordsworth, as with his siblings, had little involvement with their father, and they would be distant from him until his death in 1783.[
كان والدهم ينأى بنفسه عنهم ولا يكاد يلتقي بهم وظل ذلك قائما حتى موته عام 1783 عندما كان عمر وليم 13 سنه.

Wordsworth's father, although rarely present, did teach him poetry, including that of Milton, Shakespeare and Spenser, in addition to allowing his son to rely on his own father's library.

Along with spending time reading in Cockermouth, Wordsworth would also stay at his mother's parents house in Penrith, Cumberland. At Penrith, Wordsworth was exposed to the moors. Wordsworth could not get along with his grandparents and his uncle, and his hostile interactions with them distressed him to the point of contemplating suicide.
كان وليم يقضي وقتا طويلا في منزل جده لامه ولكنه لم ينسجم في الحياة مع جديه وخاله وقد اصابته مناكفاتهم بالكآبة الى الحد انه فكر بالانتحار

After the death of their mother, in 1778, John Wordsworth sent William to Hawkshead Grammar School in Lancashire and Dorothy to live with relatives in Yorkshire; she and William would not meet again for another nine years.
