Details of their children are unclear but they had at least two daughters although there is reference to three:
Letitia born Sept 1948 - Great Aunt Letitia
Marian Aglio, (or Marion) born 14 Jan 1851 - Christened 29 Aug 1852 Old Church, Saint Pancras,London, England, who married William Joseph Dibdin.
They were known as the Aglio sisters and Letitia owned a house in Sutton which she called Cremona in Cavendish Road. This was later passed on two of WJ Dibdin's daughters who rented it to the Montford Family on their return from Australia after Paul Montford's death in 1938.
Records show that they had a son in March 1847, Augustine Joseph Aglio, who died a year later.

The son of Agostino Aglio of 36 Newman Street, a painter who exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1807-1834, in 1831 the younger Aglio received a Silver Isis Medal from the Society of Arts for a bust, while in the following year he exhibited a “bust of a gentleman” at the Manchester Academy.

It is thought that he wrote a summary history of his father and passed the information on to Frederico Sacchi who wrote a biography of Agostino.
