long lost cousin

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.
For about 20 years I have been trying to get in touch with my cousin, last known to be a G P in the Kingston upon Thames area. I've tried writing to his and his daughter's former addresses, looking in relevant telephone directories and searching in the 'lists of doctors' without success. For some unknown reason I decided today to Google his name, Dr. Charles Henry Wheatley, and straight away about 7 obituaries for him in various local newspapers came up on the screen. He died on May 10th, aged 89 and his funeral was today ! I am now trying to contact his family through the funeral directors in Poole.
