Seymour was the son of British Diplomat Sir George Hamilton Seymour and the Hon. Gertrude, daughter of Henry Trevor, 20th Baron Dacre. He was educated at Rugby School, although he did not represent the college cricket team.

Seymour later became an Ensign in the 16th Regiment of Foot, before transferring to the Rifle Brigade in 1861. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1866, before retiring from military service in 1869.

In the same year as his retirement from the army, Seymour made his first-class debut for Lancashire against Sussex at the Royal Brunswick Ground in Brighton. This was the only first-class match he played for Lancashire.

The following year Seymour represented Hampshire in a single first-class match against his former club Lancashire, at Old Trafford.

The 1881 Census has Seymour living with his family at Hollybrook House, Millbrook, Hampshire, with his profession stated as a magistrate.

Seymour died at Folkestone, Kent on 31 January 1897.
