This places the family’s move from Devon (where he was born) to Lancs between Sep 1885 and mid-1887.

I haven't got a record of a William Herman Smith but my mother remembered talk of an uncle Ernie. Could be one and the same. Helena (Lena) was born in Stowmarket and as you say Hester Mabel died there (Stow), so the family clearly lived in Suffolk for some years before heading back up to Lancashire where their mother Sarah Anne Western was brought up. Arthur was my maternal grandfather

In the Ionian Islands Chaplains Births index is this rather odd one - Limerick/Simerick must be one of the smaller islands:

Odd!  Is these a possible alternative explanation - that the chaplain moved with the regiment between the Ionian Islands and a base in Limerick (Ireland)?

V odd indeed. I suppose it could be just a simple data entry error. Is there a date attached to the record?

Here's how it appears on the typed list. I am sure vol 2 p 32 would be worth a punt with the GRO, for £6. If you go through 'Overseas Event' & then you can specify father as Thomas so you won't have to pay if the father has another name. I understand, though, that not all military birth certificates have mother's maiden name.

I think my Smith is probably the one underneath the Limerick entry - I have a transcript of the Ionian Islands Military births file you have found, from c5d.co.uk. Presumably I can get the birth cert from Kew
