He married, Elizabeth Delaval, daughter of Sir John Hussey Delaval, 1st Baron Delaval of Seaton Delaval and Susannah Robinson, on 21 May 1781 in Hanover Square, Mayfair, London, England. Later he married Augusta Henrietta Catherina Boisdaune, daughter of Rev. André Boisdaune and Elizabeth Strode, on 2 May 1792.
Thicknesse-Touchet died in Sandridge Lodge, near Melksham, Wiltshire and was buried in Melksham. He was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, George Thicknesse-Touchet (1781–1837).[2] His second son John was killed at the battle of Copenhagen in 1801.[3]
