David Smith 1850-1867 (General)

My Great Uncle David Smith was baptised 21 July 1850 at Park End and buried there 18 Nov 1867. The headstone (which is also of his parents) reads 'died November 14th 1867 aged 17'
There is an accident on the Coal Miners site for 15 November 1867 for a David Smith aged 14 "He was hitching a horse when the animal swerved suddenly and pressed him against the tram with such force as to occasion injuries sufficient to bring about his death shortly after"
The only burial on this [FOD] site is for 'my' David Smith - the accident details could have the age wrong.
Can anyone help with any more details of this accident to try and prove whether this is mine or not?
