Baptised at Cheshunt in Hertfordshire on 21 October 1830, George Winter Price was the only son of George Price, of Stepney in Middlesex and later of Catford Lodge in Acton, and his wife Louisa Goudge née Batho.  

He was educated at King’s College, London — where he won prizes in Greek verse, Latin and German — and at Exeter College, Oxford

He was later described as ‘a scholar of Magdalen Hall’ and after his death as ‘late of Magdalen Hall, Oxford.’

An Italian newspaper of December 1859 mentions that he was at that time living in Florence with another Englishman, Francis Vere Wright, later the author of a book on the Italian broadsword. 

On 12 September 1864 at the British Embassy in Paris he married Mary Mulock Mulock, second daughter of Thomas Homan Mulock of Bellair, King’s County [today Offaly], Ireland.

George Winter Price died at Nice in the South of France on 13 December 1865, less than three months after he visited Silvy’s studio. He left an estate valued at £1500. 

His widow married Frederick Pepys Cockerell on 20 July 1867 at St James’s, Westminster.
