He married Mary Isabella Buller, daughter of John and Harriet Buller, in 1850, and they had three children: Mary Georgiana (born 1852); Evelyn Harriet (born 1857); and, Fanny Catherine (born 1860). He inherited the baronetcy of Topsham in 1817 on the death of his father.[2]

Duckworth was elected Conservative MP for Exeter at a by-election in 1845—caused by the death of William Webb Follett—and held the seat until 1857 when he did not seek re-election at that year's general election.[3]
