As a retired meteorologist, I've become well acquainted with living
with uncertainty though perhaps not always enjoying it.



Ah, a member of the seaweed feelers and pine-cone watchers
association! Ever come across Alan Wall?


I get the feeling I ought to remember him but my memory has failed me -
yet again.

He retired back in the mid-80s, spent his last few years in Bracknell.

As I was there (for the second time) from '78 to when they pulled it down,
I probably did know him but still can't get the grey matter to respond yet.


He was in CFO and later in SO13 doing World Weather Watch stuff.



I took a look at your site and spotted a couple of names from my old
home area that crop up in my tree - Clayson and Dawson - albeit in some
of the outer twigs. If there are any connections, they must be further
back than my tree covers. I say tree, but if it were to be described as
being like an Elder I think it would be Ground Elder.


Clayson and Dawson are sarf London for the most part.


Ah, but they started in the Northants/Beds area where I come from
(Rushden). I have Claysons from Wilby, Northants and a couple of Dawsons
from Renhold, Beds., related to my family through marriage.

Ah right, As you've seen my Claysons came from Northants and the Dawsons from
Silsoe.


Quite a few of my blood relatives moved down to London - Islington seemed
popular - from Northants but eventually drifted back.


None of mine seem to have gone back, some even crossed the pond.
