Wikipedia mentions that Sir Thomas had another daughter named Mary Lydia, but does not mention Francis Gilbert:
Acland married firstly Mary Mordaunt, daughter of Sir Charles Mordaunt, 8th Baronet, in 1841. Before her death in 1851, they had three sons and two daughters, including:

Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 12th Baronet (1842–1919), who married Gertrude Walrond, a daughter of Sir John Walrond, 1st Baronet.
Mary Lydia Acland (b. 1846), who married the Rev. Richard Hart-Davis in 1872.

He married secondly Mary Erskine, only surviving child of John Erskine, in 1856. This marriage was childless. Lady Acland died in May 1892.

Acland survived her by six years and died in May 1898, aged 89. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son Thomas, who was also a politician. Acland's second son Arthur, who succeeded to the baronetcy in 1919, also had a successful political career.
