She married Sir Anthony de Rothschild, 1st Baronet of Tring Park in 1840,[4] the son of Nathan Mayer Rothschild and Hanna Barent Rothschild (née Cohen). They had two daughters: Constance and Annie Henrietta.[3]
Constance became Constance Flower, Lady Battersea on her marriage to Liberal politician and property developer Cyril Flower, 1st Baron Battersea and Overstrand.[5] They had no children, and in 1902, Lord Battersea was embroiled in a major homosexual scandal that was suppressed by the Balfour Government.[6]
