Anglesey was the second son of Henry Paget, 2nd Marquess of Anglesey, by his second wife Henrietta Bagot, fourth daughter of Charles Bagot.[2] On 30 January 1880 he succeeded to the titles of 5th Earl of Uxbridge, co. Middlesex, 7th Baronet Bayly of Plas Newydd, Anglesey and Mount Bagenall, and 13th Lord Paget, of Beaudesert (Staffordshire). He owned a large part of the County of Anglesey.

He was commissioned as a cornet in the part-time Staffordshire Yeomanry on 20 March 1857 and was appointed captain of the Anglesey, Staffordshire, Troop of the regiment on 11 October 1859. He was promoted to major on 9 October 1874, and later gained the honorary rank of lieutenant-colonel. In 1884 the commanding officer died during the regiment's annual training, and Anglesey succeeded as Lt-Col Commandant. After his retirement he was appointed honorary colonel of the regiment on 5 March 1887.[3][4][5] He was also Honorary Colonel of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers.[1]
