Re: item on Sir Ronald Poyser.
I was checking the Google connection to my artist website, and there was a link mentioning the year 1952, which happens to be my own year of birth, and this puzzled me. It led me to a Wikipedia page for the 1952 New Years Honours List, and scrolling down the list I saw the entry for his honour. I then Googled his name and that led to the Streatham Society blog page for his name and the newspaper article about him. I was born in February 1952, and by coincidence again, my middle name is also Ronald, and a further coincidence is that my father's name was also Ronald. I am curious to know if there may be any family connection. If anyone has any information, perhaps they might email me.
Further information about me can be found on my website: https://davidpoyser.wixsite.com/portfolio
or alternatively by Googling david poyser artist.
Thank you,
David Ronald Poyser

Hard to say without knowing full names and locations. As far as I can see Sir Ronald and Lady Dorothy had one child, Peter Ronald 1920-1943)

I think I have your father's census return in 1921 in Woksop which I will email to you. No links are parents from this but there may still be a connection
