if there is an Irish connection, could you give me some clue where I should start looking??
I would begin with finding out whether the names Desmond &/or Jervis have been used earlier on the maternal lines.
After a few hrs of reading, checking, reading, further checking, reading & further checking, I have found a lot of my questions (whether in my head or on this thread) have been answered on other threads related.
However, I had started typing my finds as I was going along so I could copy/paste but have had to add a few bits...
This is a strange one & a long shot but not impossible
I see this has already been mentioned here & has been on a few other threads too but I’m putting it up to keep it all simple!

Hill Street
St George Hanover Square
St Margaret & St. John the Evangelist Westminster, London, Middlesex, England (next door to Chelsea)
All surname Salter
Jarvis Head 29 b Wribbenhall, Worcester
Fanny Wife 31 b Horton, Northampton
Ethel Lilian Dau 3 b Chelsea, Middlesex
(b 1878 (freebmd) i.e. 40 when Desmond was born)Edith Mary Dau 1 b Westminster, Middlesex
Charles Jarvis Clerson Son 0 ditto
Emma Mother 59 b Bayton, Worcester
Although this Ethel married Edward Frewen in 1905 she took off to Gibraltar as Mrs Ethel Frewen with a/her dau Hilda Mary Frewen aged 1 in 1916 (no husband but states she's married) aged 34 (b c 1882)!, no info. on who she’s going to & no sign of her return.
Why was she going to Gibraltar?
Was she estranged from Edward?
Did she conceive Desmond whilst there?
Did she feel she had to use her maiden name when Desmond was registered?
Maybe Edward insisted his surname was not to be used?
Did she get back with Edward on the condition Desmond was put into an orphanage?

1st Marriage;“Jervis Salter (deceased) given as father's name.”“(I have since found that there is Jarvis Salter in his mum's line)”Had I known, I wouldn't have suggested it.
2nd Marriage;
“Father and fathers occupation unknown”
This could be plausible (freebmd);
Death 1932
Salter Jarvis 80 Fulham 1a 449 (not far from Chelsea & Westminster)?
