We do work in Scotland and have a researcher there. The law is diffrent and dont appear on the usual list.

The good thing is in scotland is that there should never be an unclaimed case as we can research as far back through the generations until we find an heir, not just 1st cousins like in the England and Wales


Thank you for the info. :) I did wonder how the Scottish system differed from England & Wales.

On a programme last week there was a mention of an unclaimed estate of a John Barker who died in Islington. His name does not appear on the BBC website so can I assume that his estate has subsequently been claimed since the first series? Wondering if he is related to my Islington Barkers.

I would be interested to know whether any of the cases got resolved as a result of the last series.

"I agree there lyla,  it would be good to know if any of the 'do you know or are you related to **** ' cases ever found any relatives through the programme "

Towards the beginning of the second series they did tell you about one case that had appeared in the first series and had been solved as a result of information received since the programme was first aired. Unfortunately i can not remember the name of the case .
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Not sure if I have missed it along the way. This question is for Neil, how did you find Rootschat? By the way I watch Heir Hunters and love it. Thumbs up to the Beeb, best thing on there at the moment. A big thumbs up to Grimble, I like him. Lynn xx
