Tilney married a very wealthy heiress, a Miss Drummond, who brought in a dowry of £20,000. He had three children with her, Frederick, Henry, and Eleanor. As a husband, Tilney was a bit neglectful, or at least Catherine Morland believes so when she hears an account from Eleanor. General Tilney never accompanied his wife on her favorite walks around Northanger, and he refused to hang her portrait in his bedroom and actually refused to show it in the house at all due to his dissatisfaction with it. After Mrs. Tilney died, Eleanor took the portrait to hang it in her own room in order to remember her mother.
