Notes for Samuel Lane
He probably had three wives, the first is yet to be clearly confirmed:
1. Eliza Lillistone, (2) Catharine Jane Powys, (3) (1840) Elizabeth Murray.
For the first, there is an Eliza Lane who died in childbirth in Greek Street, Westminster on 25 June 1931. Previously, on 3 Sep 1839 there had been a marriage in Barsham, Suffolk between Eliza Lillistone and Samuel Lane of St Ann, Westminster. Subsequently there are written connections between his descendants and a couple with Lillistone as a late forename. I strongly suspect this marriage and this death are all Samuel’s.
And there is this birth in 1831:
Name: Frederick William Lane
Gender: Male
Christening Date: 11 Jun 1831
Christening Place: SAINT ANNE SOHO,WESTMINSTER,LONDON,ENGLAND
Birth Date: 09 Jun 1831
Father's Name: Samuel Lane
Mother's Name: Eliza
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C06236-1 ,
System Origin: England-ODM ,
GS Film number: 918606, 918607, 918608 ,
It looks like this child subsequently adopted the last forename of Lillistone, possibly to distinguish himself from his half siblings with Powys as a last forename.

TFPL, Feb 2009: There is an portrait painter, of some note apparently, called Samuel Lane who lived from 1780 to 1859; any connection? If so, he was born in King’s Lynn and died in Ipswich. Christies say this man exhibited extensively at the Royal Academy. The Times has a death notice for 29th Jul 1859 in its issue of 3 Aug 1859, for a Samuel Lane who d. at Ipswich in the 80th year of his age. All confirmed by his biography in ODNB.
In the 1851 census, Samuel and his last wife were living at 50 Greek St but Horatio Powys had flown the nest:
