On 16 May 1935,[3] at City Hall in New York City, Drogheda, then Viscount Moore, married Joan Eleanor Carr (1902–1989, née Joan Eleanor M. Birkbeck), a former wife of Dawson R. Miller and a former wife of violinist Isek D. Melsak (known professionally as Daniel Melsa). A concert pianist, she was the only child of Lilian Henrietta Birkbeck (née White, formerly Mrs. James Braidwood Birkbeck) and William Henry Carr, aka William Henry Carr-Birkbeck, who were unmarried. A newspaper report noted that on the marriage application, Lord Moore's fiancée stated that her two prior marriages had ended in 1929 and 1930, that she was employed as an "artiste", and that "she could not remember the name of her father."[3]
The Droghedas had one child, Henry "Derry" Dermot Ponsonby (born 1937), a photographer, who inherited the earldom upon his father's death.[citation needed] Lord Drogheda died on 24 December 1989, aged 79.
