Smith-Turberville was born Harry Turberville Smith at Westminster in January 1848. He changed his name in November 1884.[1]

He made his debut in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Derbyshire at Lord's in 1886.[2] Batting twice in the match, Smith-Turberville was dismissed for 10 runs in the MCC first-innings by William Cropper, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by George Walker.[3] He toured the West Indies with R. S. Lucas' XI in 1894–95, featuring in a single first-class match on the tour against Trinidad at Port of Spain.[2] Again batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 11 runs in the R. S. Lucas' XI first-innings by Float Woods, while ending their second-innings not out on 6. He also took a single wicket in Trinidad's second-innings, dismissing Lebrun Constantine to finish with figures of 1 for 28 from eight overs.[4]

He married Emma "Queenie" Nevill in London in January 1885.[5] He wrote a 68-page cricketing memoir, Peeps into the Past, in 1917.[6] He died at Hove in July 1934.[1]
