Was the Rev Syd Smith related to the Admiral Sir Sydney Smith? About the same time period.

Shirley - As you rightly say, very much the same period, but not related. They met at least once in Paris, the gallant Admiral was not quite sure what too make of the younger witty cleric. I give below two mentions of him. Although he mocked 'dissenters' in general he very much stood up for their right to worship as they pleased. (Also, he was a major influence in the winning of the campaign for Roman Catholic emancipation). Yours Aye Andrew Sellon East Anglia At Lady Granville's Ball; nothing can be more superb. ... The prettiest girl in the room was Miss Rumbold, the (step) daughter of (Adm.) Sir Sydney Smith. Rev. Sydney Smith 1771-1854, Canon of St. Paul's. Letter (from Paris) to Mrs. Sydney Smith, 27th April 1826. (473). I bought the other day some Cheshire Cheese at Cullims in Bond St., desiring him to send it to Mrs. Sydney Smith. - He smiled and said Sr your name is very well known to me. No I replied Mr Cullim, I am not Sir Sydney Smith but Mr. Sydney Smith - "I am perfectly aware of that he said I am aware of whom I am addressing, I have often heard of the Cheeses you send to Lord Grey". So you see there is no escaping from Fame. Rev. Sydney Smith 1771-1854, Canon of St. Paul's. Letter to Lady Grey, 1st Feb. 1836. (710).
