Temple's eldest son, also named Richard, a colonial administrator in India including as Governor of Bombay from 1877 to 1880, was created a baronet in 1876.

His surviving son and heir, Henry, died, unmarried, nine months after his father, having received the Military Cross whilst a captain in the R.A.M.C.
