Ah, that's the most likely explanation. (Presumably Dee didn't
bother to record "Simon"'s relation to Hajek in his diary, and
Fell-Smith did not know Hajek's father's name either.)

It doesn't seem likely.  Fell-Smith is definitely describing 
Hajek's house, and Kelley was still living with Dee at the
time, (She goes on to tell how Dee bought a keg of wine for 
Mrs. Hajek, which Kelley and one of Laski's men promptly 
got drunk from.  There followed a drunken fight between the two,
complaints by the night watchman, another fight the following 
morning,  which Dee and K's brother had to stop by force, etc..)

All the best,
