I've checked the digital image and even with the name difference, there's little doubt that the King Simmons of the GRO entry is Henry King Seamons.
The father's name and the death location of Weedon match. The informant would have been young Henry's aunt but as she made her mark I assume she wasn't literate enough to spot the differences in the name as written.
There's no King Simmons in the local GRO birth indexes to match the age (Henry King Seamons is in the indexes and also there's a baptism record for him). The only relevant burial at Hardwick was for Henry King Seamons on the 19th November.
