Just heard although I have not looked myself that yesterdays case of Clarke, cat could only find 1 of the 5 stems would cause a bit of a mess if any of you could find the other missing stems. it is an £18k estate so over £3k per stem still to be given out.

I haven't checked it out fully, but there is a tree on ancestry which features Louisa Crossland (Bertha's mother) and her siblings  ;)

Lisa Faulkener the narrator mentions over 3000 names on the list.
How do you access that list- when only 150 or so appear on the Bona Vacantia's current one?

I think the programme has made so many more of us aware that we don't want the government to benefit from intestate money  ;D

How would we check if one of our ancestors who died in the last 30 or so years and is on that list?
