In 1896 he married Caroline Carleton Backus, daughter of American brewing magnate Jacob Backus, by whom he had two sons and one daughter; the eldest son, Charles, inherited the baronetcy. A barrister and Metropolitan Police Court Magistrate, he served in the British Army in both World War I and World War II, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry.
Caroline and Albert were divorced in 1938, and Albert remarried in May to Leopoldine Armata. They had one son, Peter Bennett, born on 18 August 1938. Sir Albert died in 1945, aged 73.
