* Louisa Wilberforce (1813-1878)

* Isabella Wilberforce (1815-1887)

While their father was a famous abolitionist, his children are not as widely known, likely because they pursued various careers, some in the clergy, others in politics, and others in the military.

It's interesting to note that his son Samuel Wilberforce became a bishop, and a famous figure in the Victorian Church. He was known for his debates against the "New Theology" and his outspoken views.
