He was a banker in London. Died aged 43 years.

Stratford was disinherited by his father, who disapproved of his marriage to Dublin-born Mehetabel. He became a merchant and the couple lived in Clements Lane in the City of London. They couple had a daughter and four sons, three of whom found success in the consular service; Charles Fox Canning became ADC to the Duke of Wellington and died at Waterloo on 18th June 1815. Stratford was the uncle of MP George Canning, who notoriously fought a duel with Lord Castlereagh on Putney Heath on 20th September 1809 (which both survived) and had the shortest-ever term as Prime Minister – four months, to his death in August 1827.
