Pope/Edwards

Episode 19 of 25

Series following the work of probate researchers. The team deal with the case of a lady whose birth was registered twice and a former Nippy waitress with a surprising secret.

Once again the Heir Hunters attempt to link people with money they stand to inherit from long-forgotten relations.

Elsie Pope died in a nursing home near Shrewsbury leaving an estate worth £50,000. The search for her heirs is complex, not least because Elsie's father managed to register her birth twice in two different districts.

Rose Edwards was a working class girl from the East End of London and went on to become one of Lyons' famous Nippy waitresses working in their prestigious teahouse in Marble Arch. Faced with a large London family, the heir hunters uncover a surprising secret.

Plus, how you could be entitled to a share of unclaimed estates worth thousands or even millions of pounds.
