Christening - Illness - Name
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
On Sunday 15th January 2012 I decided, on the spur of the moment to go to Church. It was to the Church where I was Christened. I`d taken my Baptism Certificate with me as I had been told that I could see the registration at sometime. I showed the certificate to a friend and she pointed out that I had been christened exactly 73 years earlier on 15th January 1939. Spooky eh.
In 1960 my brother was very ill with sarcoidosis and about 10 years later my sister was diagnosed with the same thing. My brother died in 2001 and my sister died 2010
Lastly, to my surprise on seeing the name of Professor David Speigalhalter - one of my late relatives married a Herbert Speigalhalter but changed his name to Salter in the first World War
