Born in Manchester, Duckworth studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, then followed his father in becoming a solicitor and barrister, practising at the Chancery Bar. At the 1837 UK general election, he stood in Leicester and won a seat as a Radical Whig. In February 1839, he was appointed as Master in Chancery, and so left Parliament.[1][2]
