Henry ('Harry') Bedford (c. 1782–1844): A Clerk in the Admiralty from 1804, rising to First Class Clerk in 1826–1844. He was often referred to by Southey as ‘the Master of the Rolls’ or ‘the Magister Rotulorum’. Henry was the only one of the Bedford brothers not to remain single. In 1826 he married Eliza Hore (dates unknown), a widow with three children. The couple had two further children, Henry–Charles–Grosvenor Bedford (1827–1880), who became a civil servant, like his father and two uncles, and Mary–Frances Bedford (1829–1885).
