*George Harry (1802–1835), later Baron Grey of Groby by writ of acceleration.
*Lady Margaret Henrietta Maria (died 1852), married Henry John Milbank
*Lady Henrietta Charlotte (c.1798–1866), married Rev. James Thomas Law
*Lady Jane (1803–1877), married John Walsh, 1st Baron Ormathwaite
On Lord Stamford's death in 1845, his titles passed to his grandson, George Grey.
