George Lane-Fox (MP)

George Lane-Fox (4 May 1793 – 15 November 1848), of Bramham Park, Yorkshire, was a British landowner and Tory politician.

[2] His wealthy, but profligate, father James, a friend of George IV when he was the Prince of Wales, had inherited the extensive Bramham estate near Wetherby in 1773 from his uncle, the 1st Baron Bingley, and served as an inconspicuous Member for Horsham in Parliament.

[3] On 20 September 1814, Lane-Fox was married to Georgiana Henrietta Buckley (1874–1894), a "society figure of dubious virtue" who was a daughter of Edward Pery Buckley, of Minestead Lodge, Hampshire,[4] and the former Lady Georgiana West (a daughter of the 2nd Earl De La Warr) who had been a Lady of the Bedchamber to the royal princesses.

Together, they had one son and two daughters, including:[1] By early 1824, Lane-Fox and his wife were separated, but he sought a reconciliation two years later.

Nevertheless, by the late 1820s, his wife "had a 'notorious' and indiscreet affair" with George Stanhope, 6th Earl of Chesterfield, who abandoned her in 1830 to marry Anne Weld Forester (a granddaughter of the 4th Duke of Rutland).
