Gregory was born in Parkstone, Dorset and lived in Swanage, Dorset in 1911 and in Hendon, Middlesex in 1939. He died in Crookham-with-Ewshott, Hampshire.[2]

His son by his first wife, Helen Patricia (née Gibson), was the psychologist Richard Gregory (1923–2010). His second wife was Anita (née Kohsen).
