The son of The Reverend David William Garrow, he was born in October 1815 at Monken Hadley, Middlesex.

His first ecclesiastical posting was as perpetual curate at Compton Abdale, Gloucestershire from 1847–67. From 1867, he was the rector of Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire.[2] He died there in March 1896. His grandfather was Sir William Garrow.[1]
