In 1877 Gurney entered into the partnership for which he became best known with Walter Wren, forming the tutorial college known as Wren and Gurney which specialised in cramming candidates for civil service examinations. The partnership continued until 1894[5] when he was elected principal of the Durham College of Science and elected to the chair in mathematics.[3]
In 1872, he married Louisa, daughter of Rev. H. Selby Hele, vicar of Grays, Essex; they had nine daughters.[6] Gurney was killed in an accident while climbing alone in Arolla on 13 August 1904.[3]
