Family
Montagu married firstly Ellen Cromie, born in 1825, daughter of John Cromie, at Portstewart on 12 February 1850. They had four children although their first son, John, died as a child. Ellen died aged 32 on 11 July 1857 at Portstewart, County Londonderry. Montagu remarried in London on 18 October 1862 to Elizabeth Wade (Holton, Suffolk, 15 May 1839 – London, 29 December 1908), daughter of William Wade of Holton, Suffolk, and had six more children. This second marriage scandalized society, since the former Betsy Wade had been a housemaid when Montagu met her.<ref>Watt, George. The Fallen Woman in the Nineteenth-Century Novel.
