Dorothy Elvery was born in 1886 in Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland. Her father was William Elvery, whose family owned Elverys Sports store in Dublin. Her sister Beatrice Elvery (1883-1970, also known as Beatrice, Lady Glenavy), was a painter, stained-glass artist and sculptor. Elvery trained at Dublin Metropolitan School of Art in 1900 and at the Royal Hibernian Academy school, but "promoted the notion that she was 'self-taught'".
In 1910 she moved to South Africa to marry Hobart Kay, FRCS; by 1916 they had settled in Port Elizabeth
