Early life Colborne-Veel was born in 1831 in Gloucester, England and received his early education at Kidderminster.

He once won an essay competition, beating Stopford Brooke to second place. Brooke later made a career as a writer, but in the essay competition, his style was marked "too flowery", whilst Veel was judged having used "good, straight-forward, sensible English." In his younger days, he was a successful athlete and once won the lightweight sculls in Oxford. Once in Christchurch, he frequently appeared in the media as a cricketer. In his later life, he was a keen chess player. He married Anne Maria Anstey in 1857, who was also from Gloucestershire.
