Rendlesham succeeded his elder twin brother in the barony in 1839. As this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to an automatic seat in the House of Lords. Lord Rendlesham married Elizabeth Charlotte, daughter of Sir George Prescotte, 2nd Baronet, and widow of Sir James Duff, in 1838.
Lady Rendlesham died in December 1840.
Lord Rendlesham survived her by twelve years and died in April 1852, aged 54.
