Looks good to me, 5 children and Charles born somers Town.

This seems to suggest that Henry was born Somers Town St Pancras could be correct.

Amazing !!  Thank You !! 
No, sorry, the Barnardo's paperwork was only relevant to 2 of Henry's children.  It is only mentioned that there was a Paternal Uncle, Charles, and he was aged 40 (in 1904) and was a tram car driver, living in Holloway with 3 children.  I would take these details as a guide, as I know they can be misleading/inaccurate. 
Henry was married to Minnie Watkins, and living at 28 North Crescent Mews (Father Thomas Watkins) on the Marriage entry in 1888.

Although it is unsure who the father was, he would still have been a 'Smith' through his mother.

There are baptisms for a Caroline and a Mary of the right age in St Pancras parents William & Ann?

so Henry was married (at least) twice, as he was widowed when he married Mary Ann ??
