He may not have even been in Ballarat in December 1854, but marrying 7 months later we feel it is more than likely.  Janet and her family arrived on the ship Persia on March 1854 and she had a step brother born Jun 1855 in Ballarat.  There is no obituary nor will for her father, William Smith who died at Cambrian Hill 1882 or her step-mother Margaret Smith who died in South Melbourne in 1896.
 
 
 
Given the feelings and tensions around Ballarat before and after the Eureka events, our feeling is that Henry would not have been living on Bakery Hill in mid-1855 if he had been a friend of Bentley – would you tend to agree?
