Naval career

Born the younger son of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey, Paget in 1827 like many younger sons of nobility entered the Royal Navy as a midshipman on the second-rate ship-of-the-line HMS Asia and took part in the Battle of Navarino in 1827.[1] Promoted to commander in 1834, he took charge of HMS Pearl and, promoted to captain in 1839, he commanded the first-rate ship-of-the-line HMS Howe and then the fifth-rate frigate HMS Aigle.[1]

Paget attempted to enter Parliament as a Liberal for Southampton in 1837, but was returned as a member for Sandwich in 1847, retaining the seat until July 1852.[1]

Paget served as secretary to the Master-General of the Ordnance from 1846 to 1853.[1] He commanded the second-rate ship-of-the-line HMS Princess Royal in the expedition to the Baltic in 1854 during the Crimean War (1854–1856).[1] Again Member of Parliament for Southampton from March 1857, he was appointed Secretary to the Admiralty in June 1859 but accepted the Chiltern Hundreds (i.e., resigned) in March 1866.[1] He was promoted to vice admiral in 1865 and was Commander-in Chief, Mediterranean Fleet from 1866 to 1869.[1]

Paget retired in 1876. He died in 1895 at the age of 83.[1]

Family

In 1852 Paget married Martha Stuart, the youngest daughter of Admiral Sir Robert Waller Otway, Bt.[1]
