I remember- Mr Young was the dodgy solicitor.
I wonder how we can check up on what I was told - that Wembley Stadium was last sold with "unsound title".

That's sad- but I think I will try to get someone interested for my sons. There is a good enough story
to make it quite exciting and there is the strong connection with Harrow School and the Page who was guardian of the young King Edward VII. Not to mention the Catholic Martyrs!
Heir Hunters are companies who watch the lists of people who die intestate and then put their team to work looking for lost heirs. Usually it is a race to get to them before another company arrives with the same results. There was a TV programme - on weekly- documenting some of the searches and the speed with which they ploughed through birth, marriage and death records was impressive. I suppose they get a fee
for their work!
Good luck with your own family research
I am just off to Yorkshire to clear the nettles from family graves in a country churchyard!

Hi
I thought the problem was that the Page estates are in Chancery. My family beggared themselves fighting the case - maybe with Alfred Charles Lott - in the late 19th cent. There was an advert in the mid 1920s in the News of the World asking for descendants of the Page family. Maybe we could get one of the TV Heir Hunting programmes to take an interest

Hi Ian
Quick reply!
I am short on Henrys - only one who married a Mary Lott and died without issue in 1829.
When you get further back than your Henry I could try again.
The Pages do seem centred on Mddx - Harrow and Wembley and Sudbury

best
Fiona

Hi

My mother was a Page - and the page millions have always fascinated me. I only came across your
query as I have just had an article published on Blessed Francis Page - executed as a Catholic Priest in 1602 and am just finishing off another on his cousin Anthony Page another Catholic priest executed in 1593.
So I googled Page millions and up you came.
I do have a large family tree but probably it only follows our line down to modern times but I will try and trace you on it and let you know.

I always understood that the last attempts to get the estates out of Chancery crippled the family financially and that's why no one tried again.

best wishes
Fiona
