His wife, Ishbel Maria (b. 1857) - daughter of Dudley Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth - whom he married in 1877, took a prominent part in charitable work during her residence in Ireland, becoming president of the Irish Industries Association and other societies.

She published in 1908 Ireland's Crusade against Tuberculosis.
