- George Russell, 10th Duke of Bedford
George William Francis Sackville Russell, 10th Duke of Bedford DL (April 16, 1852 – March 23, 1893) was the son of Francis Russell, 9th Duke of Bedford.
Russell graduated from Balliol College, Oxford in 1874 with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and was admitted to Lincoln's Inn, as a barrister.
On October 24, 1876, he married Lady Adeline Marie Somers, daughter of Charles Somers, 3rd Earl Somers, but they had no children.
Russell was a Liberal member of parliament for Bedfordshire between 1875 and 1885, when the constituency was abolished. He was High Sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1889 and was later a Deputy Lieutenant of the county.
In 1891, Russell inherited the title of Duke of Bedford, together with Woburn Abbey and several other estates which went with it, including Chenies, Buckinghamshire, and an area of central London around Bedford Square.
In 1893, at the age of forty, he died of diabetes, at number 37, Chesham Place, London, and was buried at Chenies. His titles and estates were inherited by his younger brother Herbrand Russell.
