Henry Flower Every was the eldest son of Henry Every (1800-1853) of Beaumont Lodge, Windsor, who served as a Lieutenant in the Life Guards between 1828 and 1831. On 28 December 1855 he succeeded his grandfather, becoming the 10th Baronet Every of Egginton. 

Born in London on 25 December 1830, he was educated at Cheltenham. According to Boase's Modern English Biography (1891), he was an: 'ensign 90th Foot 24 November 1848; lieutenant 3 June 1853, sold out 13 October 1854; succeeded 28 December 1855; sheriff of Derbyshire 1863; alderman of Derbyshire county council 1889 to death.'

He married, firstly, on 8 February at St James's in Paddington, Gertrude Noel, daughter of the Honourable and Reverend Baptist Wriothesley Noel. His first wife having died on 26 February 1858, he married, secondly, on 8 May 1858, Mary Isabella Hollond, daughter of Reverend Edmund Hollond of Benhall Lodge, Saxmundham. His first marriage produced one daughter, who died in infancy; his second marriage produced eight children. 

Sir Henry Flower Every died at Egginton Hall near Burton-on-Trent on 26 February 1893, leaving an estate valued at £14,871. 'Sir Henry had been in ill-health for some time, and his death was not unexpected either by himself or by his friends. He had suffered from an internal complaint of a cancerous nature, and had for several months been confined to bed. He had, in addition to his physical ailments, suffered during the last twelve months from a succession of family troubles, which no doubt augmented the severity of his malady' (Ripley and Heanor News and Ilkeston Division Free Press, 3 March 1893). 

His eldest son Captain Henry Edmund Every having died of influenza the previous year, he was succeeded by his seven-year-old grandson Edward Oswald Every, who was born in 1886.
