Cox was born in Westminster,[1] the second son of Frederick Cox, DL JP of Hillingdon House and Mabel Eden.[2] He was educated at Eton. He was a Senior Partner at Cox & Co. and an agent for the British Army. He was created a baronet of Old Windsor in the County of Berkshire in the 1921 New Year's Honours.[3][4]
He lived in Old Windsor, Berkshire, and was appointed a deputy lieutenant[5] and selected High Sheriff of Berkshire for 1919–20.[6]
In 1890, he married Sybil Weguelin, daughter of MP Thomas Matthias Weguelin. He died at the age of 56 without surviving children, and the baronetcy thus became extinct after only just over a year.[7]
