The name of
Sidney Herbert Maltass (born 1820)
has an interesting similarity with the name of
his aunt Susan's
nephew,
Sidney Herbert
(later 1st Baron Herbert of Lea, born 1810).
But think it is just coincidence.
Sidney Herbert was just a child in 1820, and it is hard to see how there could be any connection.
It is interesting that, much later, Sidney Herbert
became Secretary for War in the Crimean War
in the part of the world including Smyrna.
