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.
Microfiche copies of the burial records held at Bradford show:
Henry Smith was buried at All Saints, Bingley.
Date: Feb 24 1867
Ref No. 1449
Residence: Cross Flatts
Age 44
Theres a Henry Smith (1838-1867) who died at Calverley, who married Ann Walton. This is another!
