Goring was the son of Charles Goring (1744–1797) and Mary née Ballard, and brother of John Goring (born 1824). He was educated at Winchester College,[4] and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1835. He graduated B.A. there in 1843, and M.A. in 1847.[5] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University from 1836 to 1838, making four appearances.[6]

Goring was elected Conservative Member of Parliament for New Shoreham at the 1841 general election and held the seat until his death in 1849.[7][2] He married Juliana Mary Caroline Dixie, daughter of Sir William Willoughy Wolstan Dixie, 7th Baronet on 19 September 1849, but died two months later.[3] His brother, William Goring, was also a first-class cricketer.
