Curgenven was born at Friar Gate Derby, the son of William Curgenven who was a doctor and former Derbyshire cricketer, and his wife Pamela Harman. He was educated at Repton School and Clare College, Cambridge,[1] and became a farmer.

Curgenven debuted for Derbyshire in the 1896 season in a draw against Essex and played a total of five matches for the club that year. In the 1897 season he played four matches for Derbyshire and also two matches for Cambridge University against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).
