In 1814, he married Mary Anne Palmer, daughter of John Palmer, and they had at least two children: John Byron Hobhouse (1817–1842); and Sir Charles Parry Hobhouse, 3rd Baronet (1825–1916).[5]

After unsuccessfully contesting Finsbury in 1835,[6] Hobhouse was elected a Whig Member of Parliament for Hereford at the general election in May 1841 but resigned five months later by accepting the office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.[7][4][8]

He was also in the Honourable East India Company Service.[5]
