In 1821 John married Elizabeth Hext (1800–1864) who was the daughter of John Hext of Trenarren in Cornwall. The couple had no children so when John died in 1869 his only surviving younger brother George Smith Daintry (1811–1881) inherited the estate. George was the youngest child in his family and did not expect to inherit. He therefore sought to make his own way in the world and in 1842 went with his wife Mary Ann (nee Hodge) and children to Cobourg in Canada. He owned a fleet of ferry boats and in the 1860s became the Mayor of Cobourg. George returned to England in 1869 and lived on the estate until his death in 1881. His eldest son John Daintry (1832–1899) then became the owner. He had remained in Canada for most of his life working as a surveyor and had married a Canadian wife Sarah Louisa Beatty (1838–1921). When he inherited the estate in 1881 it appears that he sometimes visited the property but still mainly lived in Canada. The 1891 Canadian Census recorded him as still living in Cobourg with his family and in 1899 he died there. He is buried in St Peter's Cemetery Cobourg with his wife and three of his four children. His eldest son George Percival Daintry became the owner of the Manor in 1899. George Percival Daintry (1871–1936) had returned to North Rode from Canada when he turned 21 in 1892. He appears to have run the estate until he inherited it in 1899. In 1902 he married Dorothy Ridgeway (1880–1977) who was the daughter of John Ridgway of Sutton Hall, Cheshire. The couple had four children. The family did not live in the Manor and preferred to rent it to wealthy tenants. They usually lived at Oaklands which was also on the estate. A rental advertisement for the manor is shown. The most notable tenant who lived in the Manor House was Sir Edward Tootal Broadhurst (1858–1922) and his wife Charlotte who rented the house from about 1900 until 1923. Sir Edward was one of the largest cotton manufacturers in Manchester. He was also a director of the London and North Western Railway and the chairman of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank. In 1920 he gave 80
