Gisborne was the son of Thomas Gisborne, Prebendary of Durham. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge being awarded B.A. in 1810.[2] He found success as a coal, lime, and sand merchant in Manchester, though he lived most of his life at his two estates: Horwick House, Derbyshire and Yoxall Lodge, Staffordshire.[2]
He married Elizabeth Fysche Palmer, daughter of John Palmer of Ickwell in Bedfordshire, in 1811, and they had two sons before she died in 1823.[1] Via his wife's sister, Susan, he was brother-in-law of Francis Dukinfield Astley, and there was a considerable scandal when Astley died suddenly at Horwick House in 1825 and Gisborne was accused of having poisoned him; however, he managed to clear his name after a coroner's inquest.[3] Gisborne married the widowed Susan Astley in 1826.[1]
Gisborne died in 1852, at the age of 62.[2] He was survived by his eldest son Thomas Guy Gisborne (1812–69).[1] His second son—Henry Fyshe Gisborne (1813–41), a colonial commissioner—predeceased him.[2]
