I am only son of Michel and Lavinia (nee Rudkin) Syson, currently living in London and SE area. Grandfather was Eric Dunstan Syson (solicitor, Kennedys) whose family seemed to originate from Liverpool/Wirral. Eric married Jeanne Maxton of French/Scottish decendancy. He had a brother Frank who ran a sweet shop if I recall. My great grandfather ran a large department store in Cairo until he died from scarlet or yellow fever during early 1900's.
