He married Louisa Anne Call in 1801. She died in 1862.
Lord Aylmer entered the army in 1787 as an ensign with the 49th, or Hertfordshire Regiment of Foot and pursued a military career as Lieutenant Colonel of the Coldstream Guards, becoming aide-de-camp to the King in 1803. Aylmer served with Sir Arthur Wellesley in the Peninsular Wars. Aylmer attained the rank of general in 1825 and was living in retirement in the south of France in 1830.
Nominated as Governor-in-Chief of Upper and Lower Canada, there were delays in the preparation of his commissions. He served as Administrator of Lower Canada, succeeding Sir James Kempt, from his arrival in October 1830 until 4 February 1831 when he was sworn in as Governor. His period of government was marred by constant political upheaval which climaxed in 1834 with the Ninety-two Resolutions advanced by Louis-Joseph Papineau in the House of Assembly, some of which called for Aylmer's impeachment. Although Aylmer was recalled the next year, there was no censure implied. Lord Aylmer was gazetted a G.C.B. in 1836 and died in London, England in 1850.Information additionnelle :Note générale :Letter patents, 1830, were presented in 1985 from the Hon. Mrs. Gregor B.
