Hi Di
my husband wrote on here last year - I think he may have confused you about Albert Heaffey. He was my grandfather but he had a habit of changing his name. He changed it to join the Australian army for WW1 - to Herbert Smith - Albert and Herbert's war records show that it was the same person - or at least they have too many details exactly the same. Albert also changed his name when he married again after my grandmother died. This time using Smith as he did previously but adding Harper - Catherine's maiden name.
Thanks J
