On 20 May 1782, Westmorland married Sarah Anne Child ((28 August 1764 -9 November 1793), the only daughter and heiress of wealthy banker, Robert Child, at Gretna Green against her father's wishes. Child consequently cut his daughter and her sons and their descendants out of his will, and made his daughter's daughters his heirs to prevent the Fanes from benefitting from this elopement. Their eldest daughter, Lady Sarah Sophia Fane (1785-1867), made testamentary heiress of her maternal grandfather, married George Child-Villiers, 5th Earl of Jersey; her husband assumed the additional surname of Child. Their other children were a son and three other daughters. Sarah however died relatively young in 1793 at the age of twenty-nine.
He married secondly Jane Saunders (also known as Jane Huck-Saunders) in 1800. After some years of marriage, they later separated and she lived at Brympton d'Evercy.
