I have since discovered two references that the couple had a son who died in infancy. It was referred to in a Shropshire newspaper obituary in 1874, and recounted by Henry T. Weyman in 1902 in a chronological, biographical, article on MPs for Wenlock. Neither Burke's Peerage, Debrett's nor The Complete Peerage mention this. I am citing both Weyman's and the newspaper account, neither of which named the child. I have not found copies of the parish registers for Willey during the period available in public archives.Cloptonson (talk) 17:51, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
