Thomas Charles, Viscount Raynham (b 1977), on 15 April 2011 at Street Mary"s Church, Kingsclere, Hampshire, married Mission Octavia Christina Legge (b 3 February 1980), daughter of Mr and Mrs Christopher Legge, of Kingsclere, Hampshire.

The current Marquess holds the subsidiary titles Viscount Townshend, of Raynham in the County of Norfolk (created 1682), and Baron Townshend, of Lynn Regis in the County of Norfolk (created 1661), both of which are in the Peerage of England. He is also a Baronet, of Raynham in the County of Norfolk (created 1617).
As the subsidiary titles are of the same name as the primary title, the Viscountcy has been referred to as "Viscount Raynham" and the Barony "Baron Lynn". The family seat is Raynham Hall, Fakenham, Norfolk.
