Nick,

Without prying into your personal case could you tell us what the answer was to whether

"heir hunter companies usually carry indemnity insurance themselves, or is it down to those who get the money to take this out ?"

Thanks
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.

Fraser & Fraser certainly do.   I'm not sure if the smaller ones will.  It's not a legal requirement, as far as I know.

RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

I was wondering what firms like Fraser & Fraser do with all the hundreds and hundreds of BMD certificates they must purchase each year.
Nash, Whittingham - Wolverhampton<br />Nash, Whittingham, Pardoe, Cartwright - Worcs<br />Osbaldeston, Kay, Wyles, - Preston, Lancs<br />Dippnall, Poulton, Burton, Dawes - Manchester/Salford<br />McPoland, Tildesley, Iveson, Fox - Lancashire North Of The Sands
Wild, - Claughton, Lancashire

My company must have kept them, they never passed any on to me, would have been an invaluable help if they had. ::)

In an earlier programme it said that F&F microfilm all the certificates etc that they order - it makes them easier to store. (It also means they can refer to them in future should the need arise). It also said they provide information to any successful heirs of the family research that they have done - although whether this is proactive or reactive I don't know.

Thought I should let you know the are some new programs coming out starting next Monday 29th
Would have let you know sooner but we have been run off out feet as of late and we couldn't give as much time to the film crew so there are several firms involved this time. some who I had never heard of before!!  25 programs in total running for 5 weeks. There is even 1 story given to us by an heir hunter viewer who asked for our help.
