In 1840 Anthony Nathan de Rothschild married Louise Montefiore (1821-1910). She was a cousin, the daughter of Henriette Rothschild (1791-1866) and Abraham Montefiore. They had two daughters:

1. Constance (1843-1931)
2. Annie Henrietta (1844-1926)

On his father's death in 1836, Anthony became a partner in the bank. Anthony's eldest brother Lionel de Rothschild worked at the bank but in time became more and more involved in politics.
