Sad that Queenie didn't know she had a brother, but lovely that she remembered an old neighbour/friend in her will, and I hope they can manage to find Lily's family in India.
She brought so many children into the world, but died alone.

These heir hunters have an interesting job, but must know of some heartbreaking stories.

Love the programme.

Tania, Joannie I think there are people on here who would love to do that job and be great at it :) There would be some who were best at the research and some who would be best at going ut and meeting the neighbours and digging out info that way lol

I enjoy this programme and I must say I reckon some of us on here could trace rellies as fast as they do on the show.
Perhaps we could hire ourselves out as investigators.
And yes I think they probably do check here,makes life easy for them and they would get a big fat cheque for someone elses work

Hi Joannie, all those lives she helped bring into the world, doesn't seem fair that she had no one wiith her.

Worth contacting the person on here maybe? I wonder if it is a relative or perhaps the firm use GR!

think how sad it is that people die alone, and are not found for a while...and thought 'that could one day be me' ! But at least if I keep my family tree the heir hunters work would be dead easy lol.

this is site where you can look up unclaimed inheritance.
