The 1851 census has Henry born in Bradford in 1824, while the other members of the family are born in Bingley. According to the 1861 census he was born in Bingley, Yorkshire in 1821.
The record for Allerton is a good match, as it is near Bradford, but also under the district of Bingley.

Henry was 44, a labourer when he died. The death record shows Henry Smith died in Morton. East Morton is less than half a mile from Crossflatts, so is probably where he was working as a farm labourer. Cause of death was "Poisoned by swallowing a quantity of Wilkinson's vermin killer - died in half an hour". The information was received from Thomas Brown, Coroner for Yorkshire, Skipton. An inquest was quickly held on 22-Feb-1867 and the death registered the following day.
