He returned to the Irish House of Commons in 1791. He continued to serve until 1800. In that year, he received a high honor. He was given the title of Baron Mount Sandford. This made him a member of the Peerage of Ireland, a group of people with special noble titles.
The title was created so that if Henry didn't have any sons, it would pass to his brothers, William and George, and then to their male children.

Lord Mount Sandford married Katherine Oliver in 1780. She was the daughter of Silver Oliver. Henry and Katherine did not have any children who survived.
