In 1759, still only 20, Fawcett married Susannah Skirrow (1736-1810) from Bingley, known as Susy, five years his senior. They had no children for the first eight years but in due time they had at least four children, Sarah (1766-1785) who died aged only 18; John (1768-1837), his later biographer; Stephen (1769-1774) who died when he was only 4 and Jane (1772-1811).
