His paternal grandfather was the landowner Richard Clement (1753 - 1829), whose English residence was 13 Bolton Street, Mayfair,[2] and his maternal grandfather was Sir Reynold Abel Alleyne, 2nd Baronet (1789 – 1870).

He was raised at Snarestone Lodge at Snarestone, Leicestershire, England, and was educated at Rugby School,[3] and at University College, Oxford, whilst at which he in 1853 appeared twice in first-class cricket for Oxford University, once against the Marylebone Cricket Club and once against Cambridge University.[4]
