The link mentioned in the 28.11.2011-comment says that date of death is unknown. It says he died PRE-1890 so before 1890.
Year of birt 1890 therefore is wrong.

Smith’s brother, Robert, played in the match on 30 November 1872 as one of six forwards; thus, he and Robert were the first pair of brothers to play together at international level.
