Strutt was born in Langford Grove, Essex on November 12 , 1842 . In his early years he suffered frailty and poor health.
He began studying mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1861 and graduated in 1865. He was subsequently elected to a Fellowship of Trinity College. He held the post he held until he married Evelyn Balfour in 1871.
