Gregory is known for a posthumous photograph that he took of the bushranger Lowry in 1863 that was reproduced in the Illustrated Melbourne Post.

This record needs moderation

He was born in London and had been in the colony 45 years, 38 of which he had spent in Goulburn. On first arriving in New South Wales he was employed in the mint, but left there to go on a goldfield. After an interval of a few years he made his home in Goulburn, where he carried on a fancy goods shop. He combined photographing with his other business, but relinquished it after some years. Mr. Gregory was a prominent member of the Church of England. He occupied a seat in the Synod, and was a member of the committee of the Church Society and of the Cathedral Council. He was chairman of the Southern Building Company and a director of the Gas Company.
