Henri Paul Motte married his wife Constance Sarah Ivatts, who was from England, in 1882 and had nine children (four sons and 5 daughters) with her. The Mottes' household lived an unconventional life that was very permissive and free-spirited for the time. For example, they allowed their sons to wear long hair, which was quite unusual at that time.
