The son of Rev. Richard Harvey, he was born at Hornsey in May 1837. He was educated at Charterhouse School,[1] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford in 1855, graduating B.A. 1859 (M.A. 1862).[2]

While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Oxford in 1858. The following year, he made one first-class appearance apiece for the MCC against Oxford University, and for Middlesex against Kent.
