He was born in Lambeth to blacksmith Charles McGregor and Isabel McPhee. He came to Victoria at a young age and was educated in Ballarat. He became a business agent and auctioneer, and married Mary Laurie, with whom he had nine children. In 1894 he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Ballarat East. He was a minister without portfolio from 1900 to 1901, and from 1901 to 1902 was vice-president of the Board of Land and Works. He was Chairman of Committees from 1918 to 1921, but he lost his seat in 1924. McGregor died in Melbourne in 1931.[1]
