BiographyHistory

Fox was the second daughter of the Duke of Clarence (later William IV) and his mistress Dorothy Jordan. She married Charles Richard Fox, the son of Henry Richard Vassall Fox, third Baron Holland and Elizabeth Vassall Fox. She also edited and published anthologies titled Friendly Contributions 'for the benefit' of various schools.

For a part of her later life, Lady Mary worked as housekeeper at Windsor Castle. She died in 1864 and is buried with her husband at Kensal Green Cemetery.

Ferguson first treats Lady Mary Fox as a pseudonym for Richard Whately (Vol. II, p.314).
