Edward Spragge Winslow was born on 23 November 1886 in Montreal to Edward Pelham Winslow and Sarah Maria Alice Spragge. He grew up in New Brunswick and Ontario and had six siblings, including his younger brothers Hugh Pelham Winslow and Kenelm Molson Winslow. Winslow studied science at McGill University, specializing in mechanical engineering. He went on to work for various businesses around Montreal, eventually joining Canadian Ingersoll-Rand as a salesman, where he would work for the rest of his career. On 12 October 1912, Winslow married Lois Sybil Harrington, the daughter of Anna Dawson-Harrington and B.J. Harrington. Together they had five children: Alice Margaret Winslow Spragge (Simons), Edward Winslow-Spragge, Ruth Naomi Winslow-Spragge (Cobbett), Anne Virginia Winslow-Spragge (Byers), and Mary Lois Winslow-Spragge (Duclos). With the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Winslow was appointed the manager of the munitions department for the Ingersoll-Rand factory in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Winslow was very involved in advocating for the role of Canadian manufacturers in the war effort, especially in relation to the Imperial Munitions Board. Under his management, the Sherbrooke factory was a leading Canadian producer of 8-inch and 6-inch shells during World War I. After the war, Winslow rose through the company ranks, eventually becoming the General Manager and First Vice-President. In the 1930s, Winslow changed his name to Edward Winslow-Spragge, as did Lois and their children, to respect a family wish that Edward, the WInslow' eldest son, would carry on his mother's surname as well. During World War II, Winslow was once again very involved in seeking and obtaining manufacturing contracts for Canadian producers as part of the war effort. After surviving a heart attach in 1942, Winslow left his job at Ingersoll-Rand, and took on a volunteer position with the Wartime Bureau of Technical Personnel, where he was an Associate Financial Advisor working with victory loans. In 1946, Winslow resigned from his position and received the Order of the British Empire. He retired to Almonte, Ontario, shortly afterward and lived there with his family until his death on 22 February 1953.

William Copley Winslow was born on January 13, 1840, in Boston, Massachusetts.

He was an Episcopal clergyman, archeologist, and journalist. He graduated from Hamilton College, Clinton, New York, in 1862 and the General Seminary, New York, in 1865. He was ordained a deacon in 1862 and priest in 1867. He spent several months in Italy studying archeology and ancient sculpture. Upon his return, he became rector of St. George's Church, Lee, Massachusetts (1867-1870) and later chaplain of St. Luke's Home in Boston (1877-1882). Winslow's deepest interest was in archeological research. In 1880, he visited the monuments and sites of Egypt and founded the American branch of the Egypt Exploration Fund. He served as its honorary treasurer (1883), vice-president (1885), and honorary secretary (1889). As a result of Winslow's enthusiasm for making Egypt known to the American people, the Boston Museum was enriched with a notable collection of Egyptian monuments. He was an honorary Fellow of the Royal Archeological Institute, corresponding member of the British Archeological Association, honorary correspondent of the Victoria Institute, honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the Antiquarians of Scotland. Winslow was also an honorary member of the Nova Scotia and Quebec Historical Societies and the Montreal Society of Natural History. He published numerous papers and articles on the subject of Egypt and archeology.
