Birch was described in The Gentleman's Magazine as "amiable, learned, and pious". He married Maria Rosara Gordon, daughter of Charles Gordon, on 30 January 1804. Maria was the sister of James Alexander Gordon and niece of Sylvester Douglas, 1st Baron Glenbervie. They had four sons and five daughters. Their first son, Thomas Frederick Birch (born 16 January 1805) was in the Royal Navy, was commander of HMS Wizard (1830) in 1837, and retired a Rear-Admiral. He was buried at Bexhill, but after his death, the inhabitants of Battle erected a tablet to his memory in the nave of Battle Church. Additional tablets in the church are dedicated to five of his daughters and to his mother. (en)
