Watch it here Roger http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zp6cx/Heir_Hunters_Series_5_Drinkwater_Neaves/

She was trying to say that if they had lots of names they usually had money,but that's not what came out LOL

I replayed it to show my husband-he was surprised they let it go ahead with that bit in the programme  ;D

it was a little slip, that Flame (the producers) should have removed, certainly if we were paid actors or famous it would have been removed, instead I have a very embarrassed member of staff and a not too happy research room.
Flame have just given us the contract for HH6 not sure I will have too many staff wanting to work with them, especially as they don't get paid for it.

Poor Old Jo  ;D

But it gave us a good laugh and by tomorrow will be forgotten.
My grandad's middle name was Mockridge,his mothers maiden name.
I'm still smiling at the thought of it being true  ;)
But we knew what she meant!

I really don't see what the hullabaloo is all about. used in the right context the phrase is perfectly acceptable. Just a shame some people can't see beyond its offensive, slang, use

Well-endowed (adjective)
1.   Affluent, provided with substantial property, a sizeable income etc
2.   Naturally excellent, talented or capable as a result of a natural gift
3.   Offensive term, an offensive term meaning a large xxxxx or large xxxxxxx


Think someone owes Flame an apology ..........
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.

I don't think most men would agree with the third meaning of the word,  ladies perhaps, who knows and more to the point the programme surely meant it in the old fashioned version of the term. It used to be fairly often used in that way.

Hi,
Surely all of us that are in to family history have heard of someone receiving an endowment and didn't think of it in the smutty way that some people have taken it.
I for one hope that HH6 goes ahead. F&F are doing a grand job, it's entertaining and I'm sure some of us are learning a lot from the programme.
