- Page 75 of the BRB had Charles' birth date as 21st Sept 1874, whereas page 137 of 'Their Name Liveth' by John Mathews stated "Charles Thomas Gaffney Smith was born in Donald on 22nd October 1877, although the birth was not registered there until twelve months later. He was obviously named after his two fathers but the Registrar appears to have become confused, spelling the third given name as 'Gaffre'. Initially, he had also written his father's name under the heading of the child's name, and subsequently crossed it out. The name 'Charles' was chosen again following the death of the first-born in the year before."
