The son of Henry Minchin Pigou and Elizabeth Bird, he was born in British India at Calcutta in March 1815. Pigou was later sent to England to attend Harrow School. Pigou played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1836, playing twice against Cambridge University and once against Oxford University.

Shortly after leaving Harrow he married without the consent of his father and was disinherited. Pigou gained employment with the London and Birmingham Railway in 1840, becoming the first station master at Rugby railway station.
