Ko tana whaea ko Lady Anne de Grey, te tuawha o nga tamahine a Henry Grey, 1st Duke o Kent, a ko tona papa ko Lord Charles Cavendish, te tuatoru o nga tama a William Cavendish, 2nd Duke o Devonshire. I kitea e te whanau tana whakapapa puta noa i nga rautau e waru ki nga wa o Norman, a he hononga piri ki nga whanau rangatira o Great Britain. I mate te whaea o Henry i te tau 1733, e toru marama i muri i te whanautanga o tana tama tuarua, a Frederick, ana i mua tata o te rua o nga ra whanau o Henry, ka waiho a Lord Charles Cavendish ki te whakatipu i ana tama tokorua. Ko Cavendish te taera hei "The Honourable Henry Cavendish". Mai i te 11 o ona tau, i haere a Henry ki te Kura o Newcome, he kura motuhake e tata ana ki Ranana. I te 18 o ona tau (i te 24 o Noema 1748) ka uru ia ki te Whare Waananga o Cambridge i te Whare Wananga o St Peter, e mohiotia ana inaianei ko Peterhouse, engari i wehe ia e toru tau i muri mai i te 23 o Hui-tanguru 1751 kaore i whiwhi tohu (i taua wa, he tikanga noa). I noho ia ki tana papa i Rānana, i reira i whai wawe ai ia i tana ake taiwhanga.  Pātai: He aha te tau i haere ai a Henry ki te Whare Wānanga o Cambridge?
