Heir Hunters TV programme

nice to see on Celtic's effort today on Roberts they got to the same stage we were at in 2006/7

Presumably you didn't have to wait for the 1911 census to be released like Celtic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

list comes out Midnight on Wednesday (Thursday morning) they are in the paper 4 weeks after the advert on the web. hadn't seen it had changed. they are given to the papers a few weeks in advance and go in the legal and public section, there have been leeks in the past from the papers that is why they are on the web first.

yes we work DoL and DoC cases

Thanks Neil for the info. Is there an equivalent website for the Lancaster/Cornwall cases or is it a case of scouring ads in local papers? Sorry if that's a trade secret...

I would be very interested to know what websites they use besides the normal ones we use they seem to be able to find a lot more than I can.

Hi there

There was something a bit weird on today's program. When Celtic went to the welsh registrar, I noticed that the registrar took a register from the safe multiple times to check different queries. It was the same one from the same position on the same shelf.

Now either he must be very forgetful or was it a case of shoot one scene, use for all? 

Great to see how the Pros do it though.

Oh yeh, the wall at the end of the office, where the air con is could do with a dust off some time.

Peter was there for quite a while  - and asked for lots of different records - we did not repeat the shot (as you asked)  - I think the poor registrar did get a little fed up...

Heir Hunters tv,

What I like about the programme is the bits you include about social history eg in todays programme there was a nice piece on the Scottish shepherd's coming down to Exmoor and trying to turn the  moors into a rural idyll - (its all relative!)

The more of these bits you can include in the programme the better in my view.

As you may have noticed we are including more and more social history in each episode - thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoy the show.

I'm also really enjoying this series. I agree with davidft about the social history aspects being included, I've learnt a great deal from these little snippets.  Loved the archival film footage of London's Oxford Circus around the beginning of the 20th C the other day, for instance! (Can't remember which episode, sorry!).

Is David Pacifico really that grumpy ?

Hehe, I'd imagine it can get pretty stressful when you're working against the clock and nothing is falling into place  .  At least Tony's cheered up a bit I noticed - he seems a bit calmer and happier in this series  .  One guy I feel a little sorry for at F & F is Ewart, the travelling researcher, who seems to be have been sent on a lot of wild goose chases!  You've got to like driving in that job, haven't you

We have really enjoyed this new format which includes so much social history.

Although sad when there is no conclusion, very heartenenig when distant relations meet and carry on to build their tree..Hope Frazers reps mention RC !!

Ewart is one of our favourites..

Will he manage to get to an appointment or will his car break down..??

Hope we don't put the 'fluence on but he looks very trim this series and his car seems to be OK fingers crossed!!
