He was born in Little Sutton House, Chiswick, London, the son of Henry Conybeare and Anne Newport Moore, and the grandson of William Daniel Conybeare. He was educated in England at Westminster School in London and Christ Church, Oxford. He joined the British merchant marine in 1875 but was discharged because he was nearsighted. Conybeare came to Canada, moving to Winnipeg in 1880, where he articled in law. In 1885, he moved to Lethbridge, Alberta, where he was called to the bar for the Northwest Territories and set up a law practice, becoming the town's first lawyer.[1] He was named a notary the following year. From 1888 to 1897, he served as crown prosecutor.
As well as belonging to a number of prominent local clubs, he helped found the Chinook Club and Pemmican Club in Lethbridge. He helped establish Lethbridge Brewing and Malting, British Canadian Trust and Lethbridge Brick and Terra Cotta. He was also a promoter of the Bank of Winnipeg. Conybeare was chairman of the public school board, president of the Lethbridge Board of Trade and Civic Committee and founding president of the Southern Alberta Boards of Trade.
