Francis Bacon (1801 – June 2, 1840) was born in London in 1801, the son of James Bacon. He received his early education at Hammersmith School under Mr. Lotherington and was admitted as a sizar at Trinity College, Cambridge, on October 17, 1821, at the age of twenty. He matriculated in Michaelmas 1822 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1826. He was subsequently admitted to Gray's Inn on November 20, 1828, noting his prior status as a BA from Trinity College, and was called to the Bar in 1834.
Building a multifaceted professional life in journalism and law, Bacon served as a theatre critic for The Times, later transferred to the Gallery of the House of Commons as a parliamentary reporter, and attained the role of assistant editor of The Times in 1835. He was also affiliated as a member of the Cambridge Apostles.
On July 4, 1839, he married Fanny Horatia Serle Twiss—the only daughter of Horace Twiss—at St. George's, Hanover Square. Francis Bacon passed away shortly after on June 2, 1840, at Guildford Street, London.
