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.
I'm Ben SMITHY, 68, and married ROSEMARY in 1965. My mother is alive and my father died in 1985. I'm researching ancestry and bought a copy of my fathers Birth Certificate from Government records that arrived today, 23/04/2012.
I specified the Registration District as Middlesbrough, the year and quarter of registration and gave the specific Volume and Page references.
The Government Birth Certificate Order Summary shows the correct information but the actual Certificate shows the Sub District as Stokesley (now linked to Middlesbrough). Otherwise it gives my father's correct name , Quarter of Registration (Third) and year (1919).
The coincidence is that the Mother's name is ROSEMARY SMITHY.
There is no link between the two families.
