That is disappointing Anne.

Thank you for replying.
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.

Well being off work myself with the flu, I have enjoyed watching 2 episodes so far and have the rest on record to watch later.  Now what I want to know is how do they get their certificates so quickly, obviously they don't pay £9.25 and wait 3 weeks like I just have.  Do they pay £23.40 for a speedy service cert and get them the next day or do they have some kind of professional relationship with the GRO and get them at a discounted price in bulk?  I just wish I had the means to buy as many as I would like to, maybe when I win the Lotto.  ::)

No there are no discounts. Neil from Fraser & Fraser confirmed on here a few years ago that they have to pay the same fees as everybody else, which when you think about it is fair as they are only buying the certificates to make money. If you do a search you may be able to find the post)

Was Heir Hunters recorded?

I am not sure that express while-you-wait  is available any more.     Is it only available from the main office within a registration district?

Followed this series previous.  What a fab dream job!!! Would love to work in this environment.  Does any know how much commission is gained from a case for the hunters?

It must be a fair bit Cas as they do put a lot of resources into it, they have the office researchers, buying all the many certs needed and the men out on the road driving all over the country getting people to sign up, so it must be worth their while.......
