Family Derwentwater was the son and heir of Sir John Derwentwater of Castlerigg and Ormside, who died in 1366. Derwentwater married twice. His first wife's name is unrecorded, but they probably had one son. His second wife was Margaret née Strickland, who died long after Derwentwater, on 16 July 1449. She was the daughter and heiress of William Strickland, bishop of Carlisle and his wife, Isabel née Warcop, daughter of Thomas Warcop of Warcop, Westmorland. Derwentwater and Margaret had one daughter. Their daughter, Isabel, married Richard Restwold. Derwentwater was knighted by February 1371.
