The Pitt family was Roman Catholic.

Henry was quite wealthy. Lived a privileged life and raised his children - some turned out well and others poorly.

At 77 Henry was diagnosed with a brain tumour and Mary was ill with uterine disease(cancer). They committed suicide in 1902 and died together. Their bodies were found in their bed on the morning of Nov. 18th by their house staff.
