I have discovered a match, on Dad's side, with the Armstrong-Whitworth family.
Dad would be chuffed to pieces as he won a Whitworth medal.
The only thing is, that family appears to be firmly northern in origin, the only blip being a foray into Hampshire in WW1.
Dad's family is firmly southern, in the Hampshire and south coast region.
I was about to send a cheery "gosh, how thrilled Dad would be" email, until I realised that the connection might be nothing to do with the Armstong-Whitworths at all
