Ko tana papa, ko Alfred Whitehead, he minita me te kaiako o Chatham House Academy, he kura mo nga tama i whakatuhia e Thomas Whitehead, te tupuna o Alfred North. I mahara a Whitehead ki a raua tokorua he kura tino angitu, engari ko tana tupuna te tangata tino ahurei. Ko te whaea o Whitehead ko Maria Sarah Whitehead, i mua ko Maria Sarah Buckmaster. Kaore a Whitehead i tino piri ki tona whaea, na te mea kaore ano ia i whakahua i a ia i roto i tetahi o ana tuhinga, ana he taunakitanga kei te whakahawea te wahine a Whitehead, a Evelyn, ki a ia. I whakaakona a Whitehead i te Kura o Sherborne, Dorset, tetahi o nga kura kawanatanga pai rawa atu o te whenua. I whakaahuatia tona tamarikitanga hei tiaki-nui, engari i te wa i te kura he pai ia i nga hakinakina me te pangarau, a ko ia te rangatira o tana akomanga. I te 1880, ka tiimata a Whitehead ki te haere ki te Whare Wananga o Trinity, Cambridge, ka ako i te pangarau. Ko tana kaitohutohu mātauranga ko Edward Routh. I whiwhi ia i tana BA mai i te Trinity i te tau 1884, a ka mutu ko ia te tuawha o nga kaitautoko.  Pātai: He aha te tau i whānau ai a Whitehead?
Ko te tau 1861
