He qualified as a barrister and by 1871 was living at 80 Inverness Terrace, Paddington, London. Lady Young had died by this time and he was a widower.

By 1881 he had remarried and was living at 5 Ashbourne Terrace, Brompton. He gave his occupations in the census of that year as "Baronet; barrister (not in practice); Director of railways, US and Canada; and dramatic author". He died, aged 48, at The Priory, Hatfield Peverell, Essex. As his obituary in The Times put it: "He had been ill for some months past, but had been able to take daily drives up to his death".
