Their son John went on to marry Sarah Ann Lovell (well at least a Sarah Ann whose niece was Mary Ann Lovell), and they had a son called William. They were living in Staithe, Holkham, Walsingham in 1841.
Sarah Ann Lovell was one of the witnesses at William (John's brother) Carrington's wedding in 1822. So she must have either married his elder brother later, or signed her maiden name.
