In 1802, Lowther's heir, [[William Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale]], paid the £4,000 ({{Inflation|UK|4000|1802|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}) owed to Wordsworth's father through Lowther's failure to pay his aide.<ref>Moorman 1968 p. 8</ref> It was this repayment that afforded Wordsworth the financial means to marry. On 4 October, following his visit with Dorothy to France to arrange matters with Annette, Wordsworth married his childhood friend, Mary Hutchinson, at [[All Saints' Church, Brompton]].<ref name="webbio"/> Dorothy continued to live with the couple and grew close to Mary. The following year, Mary gave birth to the first of five children, three of whom predeceased her and William:
