They had one son, James. Their daughter Evelina, who married Major Henry Haverfield, was a suffragette and an aid worker during World War I. One of the two main family estates at this time (the other being the house that is today Inverlochy Castle Hotel) was Abinger Hall, on the land foot of the North Downs in Abinger, Surrey. The third Lord sold it in 1867 to a Mr Gwynne who soon thereafter sold it to become the family 'seat' to the statistician recently created first Lord Farrer who rebuilt the house on that land.〔('Parishes: Abinger' ) A History of the County of Surrey: Volume 3, ed.
