Christened 16 Sep 1830, son of Sackville Walter Lane Fox and Lady Charlotte Mary Ann Georgiana Lane Fox, at Darrington, Yorkshire, England (birth date noted).
Amongst those who gallantly distinguished themselves in the Battle of the Alma was Mr. Charles P. Lane Fox, nephew of the Duke of Leeds, and late a lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards, from which regiment he retired some months since, but subsequently followed his regiment to the East, and was appointed aide-de-camp to Brigadier Beatson, with the Bashi-Bazouks, under the title of Yseph Bey. Upon their disbandment, however, he landed with the brigade of Guards in the Crimea, and appeared upon the battlefield in a shooting-jacket; catching the first stray horse in his path, he was indefatigable in bringing up ammunition, and was complimented for his conduct by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on the field. At the close of the action he was shot through the ankle, and in that state bore Captain Charles Baring, of the Coldstream Guards, who had lost his arm, off the field. This gallant young volunteer is now lying at Constantinople, anxiously hoping his wound will permit his appearance in good time at Sebastopol. (The Suffolk Chronicle, 21 Oct 1854, page 7)
DEATH OF THE HON. CHARLES P. LANE FOX. We have to announce the death of the Hon. Charles Pierrepont D'Arcy Lane Fox, brother of Lord Conyers, which occurred on Sunday last, the deceased gentleman having survived his father only a few weeks. The hon. gentleman, who was the second son of the late Mr. Sackville Lane Fox and Lady Charlotte, eldest daughter of George William Frederick, sixth Duke of Leeds, and tenth Baron Conyers, was born 25th August, 1830, so that he died at the comparatively early age of 44 years. At the beginning of the war with Russia he obtained an appointment in the Turkish contingent, and subsequently served as a volunteer in the Crimea, and was present at the battle of Alma, where he was wounded, and was attached to the Coldstream Guards as lieutenant. On the death of his kinsman, the 7th Duke of Leeds, in 1859, his brother succeeded to the ancient Barony of Conyers, when the deceased and his surviving sisters were, by royal warrant, raised to the rank of baron's sons and daughters. The deceased married, 22d June 1859, Louisa, daughter of Mr. Thomas Fairfax, of Newton Kyme, Yorkshire, who died in 1870, and by whom he had issue an only daughter. (Morning Post, 15 Sep 1874, page 5)
The Hon. C.P. Lane Fox . . . for some years held a commission in the Coldstreams, but did not follow very closely his military duties, and never rose above a lieutenancy. (Staffordshire Sentinel, 17 Sep 1874, page 4)
