He had a wife and two children back in Basle (they never traveled with him to England) and in England, at the time of his death he supposedly had two children via a mistress. Of course, in that case, those children would legally have been 'bastards' and who knows if they even carried his surname. That's about all I know about his family life.

My apologies, that should be Basel (as in Switzerland) not "Basle". Oops.
