0:00:02 > 0:00:05Every Thursday morning across the UK,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09heir-hunting companies scan the Treasury's list of recent unclaimed estates.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Today, the heir hunters are chasing a name on the list
0:00:12 > 0:00:15but they have no idea what it could be worth.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Their job now is to find the long-lost relatives
0:00:19 > 0:00:21who could be in line for a windfall.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Could they be knocking at your door?
0:00:39 > 0:00:43First one's council, second one no address, third one's the same.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47On today's programme - the heir hunters take a gamble
0:00:47 > 0:00:51on a name from the list and end up getting a pleasant surprise.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54We've worked a case that doesn't appear to have any value
0:00:54 > 0:00:55and there IS value.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01After a mysterious aunt dies in London,
0:01:01 > 0:01:06her relatives are at a loss to explain her whereabouts for over 50 years.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11My head was reeling with where had Evelyn been,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13where's the rest of the family, what's going on?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18And how YOU could be entitled to unclaimed inheritance
0:01:18 > 0:01:19where heirs need to be found.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Could you be in line for a cash payout?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Every year in the UK,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39an estimated 300,000 people die without leaving a will.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40If no relatives are found,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44then any money that's left behind will go to the Government.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Every year, they make £14 million from unclaimed estates.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50But there are over 30 specialist firms
0:01:50 > 0:01:53competing to stop this happening.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58They're the heir hunters and they make it their business
0:01:58 > 0:02:02to track down missing relatives and help them claim their rightful inheritance.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06We do put people back in contact or give them information
0:02:06 > 0:02:08about family that they didn't know about.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22It's early Thursday morning in London, and overnight,
0:02:22 > 0:02:27the Treasury has advertised a new list of names of unclaimed estates.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29The staff at heir-hunting company Fraser & Fraser
0:02:29 > 0:02:33are getting set for another day of tracking down heirs.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37The sun may be shining outside, but inside the office
0:02:37 > 0:02:38dark clouds are forming.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Partner Neil is scanning the Treasury's list
0:02:42 > 0:02:46for names for the team to chase but nothing is jumping out at him.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50First one's council, second one no address, third one's the same.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55There are only a small number of names on the list
0:02:55 > 0:03:00and Neil's first impressions indicate that none of them seemed to have any great value.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Despite this, the heir hunters still have to hunt,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05so Neil picks a name for one of his teams.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Got a new case - Betty Zena Littlewood.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Dies in Fulham, I think we found her an address in Shepherd's Bush.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18All indication is that it's not going to be a valuable estate.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Case manager Dave Slee is handed Betty's case.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26With over 30 years' experience under his belt,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Dave is more than happy to take a gamble.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Betty Zena Littlewood. Let's hope we've won the pools on this one.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Dave may be positive but as the team discuss Betty's address,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40the signs aren't good.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43In general, properties make up the bulk of an estate's worth,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47so where someone lived is a good indication of a case's value.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52It looks like it's a street full of shop premises.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Estate agents...
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It's 158 flats on it at least.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Betty Zena Littlewood died in December 2010 in London.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09She was 82 years old.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13She'd lived with her mother in the same block of flats in west London
0:04:13 > 0:04:15since the end of the Second World War.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Her friend Esther Royle has fond memories of Betty.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23She was a very gentle person and she was always very grateful,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25you know what I mean?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27She really was.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29In her old age, Betty was still active
0:04:29 > 0:04:34and had volunteered for over 10 years with her local Age Concern,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37helping those less able than herself.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39If she could help them in doing things,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I mean, in writing a letter for them or something like that,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45she would be there to do it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48She would do it and do it in a lovely way.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58The search for Betty's heirs is under way.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Case manager Dave is keen to get a running start over any competition.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09And puts in a call to a travelling heir hunter.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10I'll talk to Bob Barrett.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Let's have a word with him, let him know what's going on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Travelling heir hunter Bob Barrett is poised ready to go
0:05:22 > 0:05:23wherever the office needs him.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Bob is one of the company's squadron of senior researchers
0:05:27 > 0:05:30who are willing to go wherever a case takes them in the hunt for heirs.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37We got this address of 29 the Grampian, Shepherd's Bush Road.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I think the death certificate's paramount.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42OK, I'll go there first, then.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Bob heads straight to Fulham Register Office
0:05:46 > 0:05:48to collect Betty's death certificate.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51The certificate will list the informant on her death
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and they potentially could be Betty's relative.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Back in the office, Dave has made contact
0:05:58 > 0:06:02with a neighbour in the Grampians who knew Betty.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06The new information he's gleaned is making him even more positive about the case.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11What I like about it is that the deceased has, for a number of years,
0:06:11 > 0:06:16lived with her mother in rented accommodation since the war.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18That would be on a protected rent
0:06:18 > 0:06:22and the fact that the deceased worked, one would hope
0:06:22 > 0:06:26and as the neighbours said didn't drive fast, flashy cars,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29one's got to assume that there may be some savings.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Based on that,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I think it's certainly worthwhile going ahead with this estate.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37The neighbour also gave the team the name of Betty's mother,
0:06:37 > 0:06:42a Rose Littlewood, who according to the neighbour, never married.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46The fact Betty shares her mother's maiden name leaves researcher Simon
0:06:46 > 0:06:50to suspect Betty could have been an illegitimate child.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Her mother had her when she was around 34, I believe.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Usually, what I find when I do the research is that
0:06:59 > 0:07:01when there's an illegitimate child born,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04it's when the mother's a bit younger than 34.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07There's a chance that there may be another one somewhere.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Researcher Simon knuckles down to the job in hand
0:07:11 > 0:07:14to try and determine 100%
0:07:14 > 0:07:18that Betty was the only illegitimate child of Rose Littlewood.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22He also investigates the 1911 census
0:07:22 > 0:07:24using Rose's maiden name of Littlewood
0:07:24 > 0:07:26to try to trace any potential siblings
0:07:26 > 0:07:28that would be uncles and aunts of Betty's.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30He's found a couple of possibilities.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34The problem is it hasn't helped in his hunt for heirs.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38There's currently not really any stems that are
0:07:38 > 0:07:42looking particularly promising for finding an heir.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46So far, the team believes that Betty's mother Rose
0:07:46 > 0:07:49had two siblings - a brother and sister.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So far, these stems have led nowhere.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56In order to find heirs, the office must widen their search
0:07:56 > 0:07:58in order to find potential aunts and uncles of Betty's,
0:07:58 > 0:08:03as these could lead to cousins that could still be alive.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Out on the road, Bob Barrett has arrived at Fulham Register Office
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and he's got his hands on Betty's death certificate.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Hello.- Bob Barrett.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Betty Littlewood, 31st December, 2010, Charing Cross Hospital.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Born 28th December, 1928 in England.- That's right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26In fact, it all ties in that her mother lived with her
0:08:26 > 0:08:28so we've got that up-to-date
0:08:28 > 0:08:31but I'd really like if you could come on board on this.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35No problem, speak to you later. Cheers, Dave. Bye now.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Unfortunately, the death certificate hasn't helped move the hunt for heirs forward
0:08:40 > 0:08:43as the informant on Betty's death wasn't a relatives
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It does still confirm the information
0:08:46 > 0:08:49the heir hunters have been working with so far.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53As he's in west London already, Dave asks Bob to head
0:08:53 > 0:08:56to Betty's old address in Shepherd's Bush to make some inquiries.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Cheers, bye.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00See if I can make any sort of assessment
0:09:00 > 0:09:04as to whether there's any value in the estate and talk to neighbours
0:09:04 > 0:09:07and see whether they know anything about the deceased.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14But back in the office, Dave is now one step ahead of Bob.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19He's managed to make contact with another neighbour of Betty's.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Did Betty own her own property? ..No.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Talking to the neighbour has confirmed
0:09:25 > 0:09:31a lot of what Dave already suspected, that Betty didn't own her own property.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32She had protected rent
0:09:32 > 0:09:36and she'd lived unmarried with her mother for most of her life.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Dave stops Bob Barrett in his tracks.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I don't think it's worth doing the inquiry now.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- OK, I won't bother then. - Lovely, thanks.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Right, so now I don't know where I'm going. Or who for.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Bob may be frustrated with the state of play,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58but back in the office, things have taken a positive turn.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Researcher Emily has found a Littlewood family tree
0:10:02 > 0:10:05on a genealogy website.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07This is the break the team needed.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12It looks like they found more of Betty's aunts.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Dorothy May.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Born 1st August, 1904. - Yeah, that'll do.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24According to the online family tree,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27the team now thinks Betty's mother Rose Littlewood
0:10:27 > 0:10:30had yet more brothers and sisters.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35The newly-discovered tree has advanced the heir hunt
0:10:35 > 0:10:37in a very short space of time and has confirmed with Simon
0:10:37 > 0:10:41that his research into the census records has been correct.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44He now has the names of Betty's grandparents.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49The 1911 census does say that they have eight children,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51eight still alive, and this would be the eighth
0:10:51 > 0:10:54so I don't see any reason why it would be wrong.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59So in 1911, Betty's mother Rose was one of eight children
0:10:59 > 0:11:03listed in the census as being alive at that time.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Simon now combines the online family tree with the census.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14The team now believe that of Rose's seven siblings, four have died
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and that two of her cousins have also passed away.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Despite not having absolute proof at this stage,
0:11:20 > 0:11:25they suspect all of Betty's aunts and uncles are no longer living
0:11:25 > 0:11:28so the hunt has to now move on to her other cousins
0:11:28 > 0:11:34and it looks like Betty's Aunt Dorothy had one son called Stuart.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37What have we got for Stuart? Nothing at all.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41At the moment, all we know is his year of birth
0:11:41 > 0:11:45and who he's married to. Other than that, nothing.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Haven't got anything, to be honest.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52But there is one last avenue open to the heir hunters.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Emily has come up with a cunning plan.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Stuart's father Herbert died in 2007
0:11:59 > 0:12:04so Debbie at Probate could check that to see if he leaves a grant.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07If he does, we hope that his son Stuart
0:12:07 > 0:12:11would be the one taking out the grant.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13If it's right, it will give us a recent address for him
0:12:13 > 0:12:16and hopefully that will be our first heir with an address.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Later in the programme,
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Betty's case gives the heir hunters an incredible twist at the 11th hour.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29We've had the claim come back and there's a property on it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Every Thursday morning when the Treasury's list of unclaimed estates
0:12:37 > 0:12:40is advertised, heir-hunting companies scramble to try
0:12:40 > 0:12:44and be the first to find the beneficiaries to an estate.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47When they do eventually find the heirs, there are no guarantees
0:12:47 > 0:12:50they will have ever heard of the deceased
0:12:50 > 0:12:52or, in some cases, even the other heirs.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Evelyn Burgum died in London in January 2011.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02She was 82 years old
0:13:02 > 0:13:07and passed away without leaving a will to her £330,000 estate.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13A widow, she'd lost her husband George over 15 years ago
0:13:13 > 0:13:17and continued to live in their north London home right up to her death.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21The couple spent most of their married life in the same house
0:13:21 > 0:13:24and their long-term neighbour, Fred Friar,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26remembers Evelyn and George fondly.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31They were a very private couple but very kindly
0:13:31 > 0:13:33so I think the best combination, really.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36They were private and kindly.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40For example, George, who worked for Thames Water,
0:13:40 > 0:13:46was an ardent angler and he would quite often give us presents
0:13:46 > 0:13:49of proper brown trout. The real thing.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Despite knowing the couple for decades,
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Evelyn never spoke openly to Fred about her past or wider family.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00George was more open but enigmatic with it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Locally, George had the soubriquet, "German George"
0:14:03 > 0:14:06and one-time I asked him about this.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10"Why German George?" I said. He said, "Look at my square head, Frederick.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14"I'm German." And he never did speak German.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19He spoke with a London accent, quite a cultured London accent.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23He never did speak with a German accent or speak any German.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29Because the war might have had sad or bitter memories for him,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I never did go any further with that.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38By all accounts, they were friendly but very private people,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42and George's death in 1995 only increased Evelyn's withdrawal
0:14:42 > 0:14:44into her own little world.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50She took it really very badly. After that, she became very reclusive.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55For a number of years. This wasn't just a six-months' grieving.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57She took it very much to heart.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03I gather they must have been a very devoted couple on the basis of that.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06With no neighbours or friends of Evelyn's
0:15:06 > 0:15:09knowing of any children or even wider family,
0:15:09 > 0:15:14her £330,000 estate was advertised on the Treasury's list.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Heir-hunting company Fraser & Fraser picked up the job.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Senior case manager David Pacifico
0:15:24 > 0:15:26has 40 years' experience of heir hunting.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30He started the task of piecing together Evelyn's family tree.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36First of all, we needed to identify her birth, which we did.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39From that, we identified her parents.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Evelyn's birth certificate revealed her mother and father
0:15:43 > 0:15:45were Dorothy and Henry Linsley.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48David now turned his attention to the birth records
0:15:48 > 0:15:51looking for evidence of Evelyn's siblings.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56We also found out when the parents married, and from that,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00identified that there were other children born to that marriage
0:16:00 > 0:16:04so therefore Mrs Burgum had several siblings.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09So despite the mystery about whether Evelyn had any wider family,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12she actually had three sisters.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16For heir hunter David, finding these sisters was key
0:16:16 > 0:16:18to discovering if Evelyn had any living heirs.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23We found one of them was still alive.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26The other two had passed away.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Evelyn's younger sister was still alive and in her late 70s.
0:16:31 > 0:16:37She was now an heir to Evelyn's massive £330,000 estate.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42The revelation that Evelyn had had sisters was news
0:16:42 > 0:16:44to all those who knew her,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47especially Chris Macleod, her husband George's nephew.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Evelyn, I didn't know had any relations.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53She never talked about that side of the family,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56George never talked about that side of the family.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00As far as I was concerned, there was no that side of the family.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05This was despite Chris knowing Evelyn and George better than most.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10George and Ev were always there when I needed them.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14My brother suffered from eczema and asthma
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and spent the first seven years of his life in hospital.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I spend most weekends with them.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23They became almost like another set of parents for me
0:17:23 > 0:17:24for those early years.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I learned a lot from my uncle George about being a wind-up merchant.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30He enjoyed it, so do I.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35He had a screw loose but we've all got a different type of screw loose.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40If George was a renowned prankster then his tales of German ancestry
0:17:40 > 0:17:44to the neighbours could have been just one of his jokes.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50But Evelyn and George's enigmatic and eccentric personalities
0:17:50 > 0:17:54didn't faze heir hunter David Pacifico.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58All he was concerned with was cold hard facts.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Having discovered Evelyn had one sister still live,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05he turned his attention to the two that had passed away.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09We found out from an early stage that one of them had several children.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11We made contact with one of the children.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Nephew and heir David Atkins was not only shocked to get a call
0:18:15 > 0:18:19from an heir hunter, but also to hear his aunt's name again
0:18:19 > 0:18:23having not seen or heard from Evelyn for over 50 years.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30My head was reeling with where had Evelyn been,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34where's the rest of the family, what's going on?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It turned out David hadn't seen or heard of his aunt
0:18:38 > 0:18:42since his childhood.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46My last proper memory was when Evelyn and George took me to Paris.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52I was 15 and at that time, this was a fantastic experience -
0:18:52 > 0:18:56a 15-year-old in the early '60s going to Paris for the weekend.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57It was wonderful.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02But for some unknown reason, in the mid-1960s,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Evelyn and her three sisters started to drift apart
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and David's aunt and uncle disappeared from his life.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14So what had happened to Evelyn's family ties with her three sisters?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17As case manager David Pacifico started to delve deeper,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21a potential cause for the separation was surfacing.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25We understand from the family that they thought she had gone abroad.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30It seemed Evelyn's sisters and wider family had been led to believe
0:19:30 > 0:19:34she and George had emigrated to Canada in the 1960s.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37But did they ever actually go?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41If they didn't, what made them cut all family ties?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Later in the programme, the confusion surrounding Evelyn's life
0:19:47 > 0:19:51grows as David discovers yet more heirs and yet more mystery.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Heir hunters solve thousands of cases a year
0:19:59 > 0:20:03and millions of pounds are paid out to the rightful heirs
0:20:03 > 0:20:07but not every case can be cracked.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09The Treasury has a list of over 2,000 estates
0:20:09 > 0:20:12that have baffled heir hunters and remain unsolved.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Could you be the heir they've been searching for?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Could you be in line for a windfall worth hundreds,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22thousands or even millions of pounds?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Estates stay on the list for up to 30 years
0:20:25 > 0:20:28and today we are focusing on three names.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Are they relatives of yours?
0:20:30 > 0:20:35Mary Lilian Clunan died in Bristol in March 2007.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Her surname is Irish and originates from County Galway.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41The name is extremely rare in England
0:20:41 > 0:20:45but so far all efforts to trace her heirs have failed.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Or did you know Thomas Arthur Thomas?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54He died in Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridgeshire in 1997.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Does his distinctive name mean anything to you?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Or finally, Reginald Fewtrell.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07He died in June 2002 in the West Midlands.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11His surname is fairly common for the area and also in Wales.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16If no heirs are found to his estate, the money will go to the Government.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23If the names Mary Lilian Clunan, Thomas Arthur Thomas
0:21:23 > 0:21:25or Reginald Fewtrell mean anything to you,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28then you could have a windfall on its way.
0:21:34 > 0:21:40Betty Zena Littlewood died in London aged 82 in December 2010.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43There was no will and the heir hunters don't know how much money
0:21:43 > 0:21:44she might have left.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49As an illegitimate only child, she never married or had any children
0:21:49 > 0:21:53and spent her adult life living and caring for her late mother.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Her friend Esther Royle remembers the day
0:21:55 > 0:21:58she talked to Betty about her background.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I asked her, I said, "Betty, have you any family?"
0:22:03 > 0:22:07She said, "Well, I don't know." She didn't know.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12But it appears Betty only cared about one relative -
0:22:12 > 0:22:14her beloved mother.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Her mother was the world to her. She really was.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I said, "You should have broke away, Betty."
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I said, "You should have got married."
0:22:33 > 0:22:38The heir hunters have picked up Betty's case from the Treasury's list
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and it is now their job to try and work out
0:22:40 > 0:22:44if Betty did indeed have any relatives.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So far, their morning has consisted of false starts.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Right, so now I don't know where I'm going.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53And hard-to-trace family trees.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Haven't really got anything, to be honest.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But after a frustrating morning's work,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01the team made a vital discovery of a family tree on the internet
0:23:01 > 0:23:04for Betty's ancestors.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08This showed that Betty's mother had in fact had seven siblings
0:23:08 > 0:23:11and these ants and uncles have led the heir hunters
0:23:11 > 0:23:14to not one but two cousins.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18The team have been struggling to get up-to-date addresses for them
0:23:18 > 0:23:21but it looks like their efforts are about to pay off.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25We finally found an address for Stuart Cleaver.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28We did that by finding the calendar slip at Probate
0:23:28 > 0:23:32for his father's will. We also have an address
0:23:32 > 0:23:36for what we believe is another cousin who's deceased -
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Margaret Morgan.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We got that address the same way.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Making contact with the heirs they know about is now the top priority.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50The estate may be of an unknown value but that doesn't mean
0:23:50 > 0:23:52there won't be any competition from other probate companies.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54The team must act fast.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Simon has left a message with cousin Margaret
0:23:57 > 0:24:01but the team has so far failed to find a number for cousin Stuart.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04It calls for urgent action.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06That's got to be a goer, isn't it?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Simon has discovered an address for cousin Stuart's daughter.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14All Dave has to do now is get one of the travelling heir hunters
0:24:14 > 0:24:16to pay her a visit
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and to try and get an up-to-date phone number for her father.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22With Bob Barrett now tied up on another case,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Dave scrambles to get another travelling heir hunter
0:24:25 > 0:24:27to go and meet Stuart's daughter.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30We've got an address for you on a job.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Fortunately, traveller Bob Smith is in the Kent area
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and hotfoots it to the doctor's address.
0:24:37 > 0:24:44- My mum's name is Liz.- Liz, did you say?- Elizabeth.- OK, that's lovely.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45I shall give him a call now.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Bingo.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Bob has cousin Stuart's number
0:24:48 > 0:24:52and heads straight back to the car to put in a call.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Hello, is that Mr Cleaver? - It is, yes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Mr Cleaver, my name is Robert Smith.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00I'm calling on behalf of a company called Fraser & Fraser.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Stuart agrees to a meeting
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and Bob heads to Portsmouth as quickly as he can.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Back in the office, Dave also has good news.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Bob has told them what he's initially learned from Stuart.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Thanks very much, speak to you soon. Bye-bye.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20It was him that put the tree online.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25It turns out Stuart was the person who posted the Littlewood family tree on the internet.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27This is music to the heir hunters' ears,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31that it will hopefully help clear up the blank bits of their own tree.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35The good news keeps on coming.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Dave has also been called back by Betty's cousin Margaret
0:25:38 > 0:25:41and thankfully Bob Barrett is now available.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42MOBILE RINGS
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I wondered if you would mind popping over to see a client
0:25:48 > 0:25:51that might be entitled in Hassocks.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Bob Barrett sets the satnav and hits the road.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58After a hectic morning, case manager Dave feels
0:25:58 > 0:25:59all their hard work may yet pay off.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Hopefully, within the next couple of hours,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09we'll have had two of the known beneficiaries seen,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13hopefully an agreement from them to act for them, hopefully,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17and we should have more information about the others.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20So, as always in this job, you go from there to there in no time.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22That's good news.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25And in Portsmouth, things are also looking positive.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Hello, Mr Cleaver?- That's me. - Robert Smith of Fraser & Fraser. - Oh, yes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- I spoke to you earlier on the phone. - You did indeed.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Bob Smith has made his appointment before any competition, and is the first to arrive at cousin Stuart's.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40He brings him up to speed on what they know.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Your Aunt Rose had this daughter, Betty.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Now, Betty herself remained unmarried during her lifetime.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52She died some time last year.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54When she died, apparently, she hadn't made a will
0:26:54 > 0:26:57and there were no family members that were in contact with her
0:26:57 > 0:26:59that could look after her affairs.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03After sharing information on the Littlewood family's ancestors,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Stuart is happy to sign up with the company.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Don't argue with that. - OK. Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15This means the company can help Stuart make a claim,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17and are therefore entitled to commission
0:27:17 > 0:27:19on his share of the estate.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23For Stuart, Bob's visit has allowed him to expand his family tree
0:27:23 > 0:27:27that bit further, which is welcomed by this keen amateur genealogist.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Not very worried about the money, we don't particularly need it,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36but it's more the people we're concerned about, I think.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38They're people we knew about,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40but they were blanks in the family tree, if you like.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42We knew nothing about them.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46This will really help to paint the picture for us.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Thank you very much, Stuart, it's lovely to meet you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50OK, and we'll be in touch soon.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Look forward to that.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Thank you very much indeed. Bye bye.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59It's a fantastic result, and back in his car,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Bob puts in a call to the office.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Bob Smith.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05'Hello, Bob Smith - David Slee.'
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Dave Slee! Dave Slee, I've just signed Stuart Douglas Cleaver.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Well done, mate. I don't think there's anything more.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14'Bob Barrett's seeing the other heir.'
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Thanks very much indeed. Thank you, bye.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Mr Cleaver was certainly a very nice gentleman.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Very interested in the type of work we do,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and obviously re-establishing contact with family
0:28:29 > 0:28:30that he knew nothing about.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35So, all in all, a very, very good day.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39And Bob isn't the only happy heir hunter.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Stuart was also able to clear up
0:28:40 > 0:28:44some of the dead ends on the family tree.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47It turns out Stuart thinks that one of his and Betty's uncles
0:28:47 > 0:28:51that the team had been struggling with hadn't just disappeared -
0:28:51 > 0:28:53he'd emigrated across the Atlantic.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55It's another lead for the office to follow.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01We're looking at shipping records for William Littlewood,
0:29:01 > 0:29:06and there are records of a William Littlewood sailing in 1912,
0:29:06 > 0:29:10so we're just wondering if it was on the Titanic!
0:29:10 > 0:29:13There's lots of ships sailing in 1912,
0:29:13 > 0:29:17so we don't think it's likely that he...
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It sounds like he made it! He got there safe!
0:29:20 > 0:29:24So, the hunt for Betty's heirs could stretch to the New World.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27But still on home turf in Hassocks,
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Bob Barrett has made it to the home of another heir -
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Betty's cousin Margaret.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Your mother was one of quite a large family, wasn't she?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Yes, there was eight of them.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39- Indeed, eight.- Yes.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Margaret knows a fair bit about her mother's family,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44but it's down to Bob to break the news
0:29:44 > 0:29:47she'd had a cousin she'd never known about.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Right, one of the daughters, Rose...
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- Rose Littlewood had a child and didn't get married.- Mmm.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- And it's her child who died.- Oh.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06She didn't leave a will, and her child was named Betty.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09She wasn't married, she didn't have any children,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- she used to live with her mother. - Mm-hm.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- No brothers or sisters? - And no brothers or sisters.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Whilst the news she had a cousin may be new to Margaret,
0:30:19 > 0:30:24she does know a little more about the circumstances surrounding her family's split.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Four in the middle, we found their names - Rose, Winifred,
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Percy and Alfred - and we know nothing at all about them.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39Presumably they were young men and young women
0:30:39 > 0:30:42and they left home, at what age we don't know.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47But they left home and they never made any contact with the mother.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Brothers and sisters do scrap and they do fall out
0:30:51 > 0:30:52and one thing and another.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57But their mother was the dearest lady you could ever come across.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Everybody loved her.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04And how any children could go away and lose touch with the mother
0:31:04 > 0:31:07is beyond my understanding.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12So four of the eight siblings simply upped sticks and left home for good.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15This information is vital to the office, as it ties in
0:31:15 > 0:31:21with cousin Stuart's memories of their Uncle William's emigration abroad.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Bob explains the paperwork to Margaret,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and then says his goodbyes.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Hi, Bob.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Charming old lady, but she's quite frail, quite elderly,
0:31:35 > 0:31:36with very poor eyesight,
0:31:36 > 0:31:41- so I didn't think it was right to ask her to sign an agreement. - 'No, fine.'
0:31:41 > 0:31:47I've left one with her and asked her to speak to her cousin
0:31:47 > 0:31:50and I'm sure they'll get together.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Yeah. And her cousin has agreed to use our services, which is good news.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58A nice ride out in the country as well.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02From what started as a frustrating case for the team,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04the end result has been worth it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Meeting and signing up heirs is the heir hunters' main aim,
0:32:07 > 0:32:13but to be able to fill in the blanks in a family's history in the process is the cherry on the cake.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Dave reflects on a rollercoaster of a day.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Take care now, bye-bye.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Still quite a little bit of research to undertake,
0:32:23 > 0:32:28but we should be able to tie that information up in the next few days
0:32:28 > 0:32:31and bring it to a successful conclusion,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34so, all in all, it's been a good day at the office.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39And Dave's positive feelings about the case have proven prophetic.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44After the family's claim is accepted by the Treasury, Neil gets an amazing news.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47It's a result all heir hunters dream of.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51We've had the claimant come back and there's a property on it.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54In fact, there's four properties, four plots of land.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Fingers crossed, they'll be sizeable plots and it'll be a big estate,
0:32:58 > 0:33:02but at the moment at least we know the gamble has paid off.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06We've worked a case which doesn't appear to have any value, and there is value.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Evelyn Burgum died in January 2011, with no known relatives
0:33:16 > 0:33:19and no will to her £330,000 estate.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22By all accounts, her life and past
0:33:22 > 0:33:25were a mystery to those who knew her.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Evelyn, I didn't know had any relations.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30She never talked about that side of the family.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33George never talked about that side of the family.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35So, as far as I was concerned,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37there was no that side of the family.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41But heir hunter David Pacifico had discovered otherwise.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45He'd found that Evelyn was in fact one four sisters,
0:33:45 > 0:33:50one of whom was still alive, in her late 70s and an heir to Evelyn's estate.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55He also traced three nephews from one of her late sisters.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Nephews that, like the rest of the wider family,
0:33:58 > 0:34:04had lost contact with their aunt, believing her to have moved abroad 50 years ago.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09We understood that she and George had emigrated to Canada many years ago
0:34:09 > 0:34:11and we'd all lost touch.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18In 1960s London, Evelyn and George's emigration to Canada
0:34:18 > 0:34:21would have been a highly plausible event.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25After World War II, Canada had undergone an economic boom
0:34:25 > 0:34:28and a skilled British labour force were welcomed to move there.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34But it seemed that Canada was only ever a pipe-team to Evelyn and George
0:34:34 > 0:34:37as they'd never actually left north London.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42And David Pacifico was the man who had to break this uncomfortable truth to her family.
0:34:42 > 0:34:49It's strange in this case because the deceased lived in north London
0:34:49 > 0:34:53and one of her...and her surviving sister lives in north-west London.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Not many miles away.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02Yet, you know, there hadn't been any contact for, I think, 50 years.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07So why did Evelyn's family believe she'd emigrated to Canada,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11when in reality she was just down the road?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13From his vague, early memories,
0:35:13 > 0:35:18nephew David doesn't believe it stemmed from any big family bust-ups.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23There wasn't any disagreement, any argument or anything like that.
0:35:23 > 0:35:29I understand that my mother tried to trace Evelyn after a few years
0:35:29 > 0:35:33and was told she'd emigrated to Canada.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37And there the trail stopped because in those days, 50 years ago,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40it wasn't possible to go any further.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45But it is now, and David is set on discovering more about his mysterious aunt.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51I don't know, we don't know,
0:35:51 > 0:35:55the family don't know anything about this and we want to know why.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03Now, the only way the family can try and get to know Evelyn is through her possessions.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Nephew David has been assigned administrator of her estate
0:36:06 > 0:36:09and has come to Evelyn's home to search for clues
0:36:09 > 0:36:11about his mysterious aunt's past.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I think, really, the purpose of the visit today is to see
0:36:16 > 0:36:22if we can find out anything about these huge gaps that we've got in the family history,
0:36:22 > 0:36:28what happened since we understood that Evelyn and George had emigrated to Canada.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32David's motivations are different from the heir hunters.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Andrew Fraser has joined David,
0:36:34 > 0:36:39but he is on the lookout for clues about Evelyn's financial past instead.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Andrew is used to the process,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44but for David, it's not so straightforward.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48It's a funny situation because,
0:36:48 > 0:36:50should I be looking through all these papers?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52They're somebody else's almost.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57It might be slightly unsettling, but David gets stuck in,
0:36:57 > 0:37:01sifting through old photos and letters, trying to get
0:37:01 > 0:37:05a clearer picture of Evelyn's life over the last 50 years.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09It becomes apparent his late aunt and uncle may have been estranged from the family,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11but they weren't estranged from the world.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Well, they don't seem to have been reclusive.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20They seem to have had a circle of friends -
0:37:20 > 0:37:26photographs and letters from other people - that they're obviously regularly in touch with.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31So it seems Evelyn's family may have been gone to her, but they were forgotten.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36David discovers an old photograph that brings the past flooding back.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41It's a photo that captures one of his last meetings with his aunt and uncle.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46That's George and me as a young boy
0:37:46 > 0:37:51on this trip to Paris that Evelyn and George took me on.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55But that is absolutely amazing to find that.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59If Evelyn and George were keeping the photographs,
0:37:59 > 0:38:05the old family photographs, it means that they hadn't cut themselves off completely from the family,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08and this would suggest that that is correct.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11And that's why they've been kept.
0:38:15 > 0:38:21Whatever caused the breakdown in contact between Evelyn and her sisters may never be known,
0:38:21 > 0:38:23but the story wasn't over yet.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27In his hunt for heirs, David Pacifico
0:38:27 > 0:38:30made another uncomfortable discovery.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34It turned out David Atkins had cousins he knew nothing about.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Evelyn's latest niece and nephew were from her younger sister Rita,
0:38:39 > 0:38:42who passed away when her children were still young.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Joanne and her brother grew up knowing very little about their mother,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49let alone Evelyn.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52I was a bit numb, really,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56when I first spoke to David. Yeah, a bit shocked.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01A bit numb and a bit of disbelief as well, really.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06And David Pacifico's revelations kept on coming.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10So initially he told me that my mum actually was one four sisters,
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I thought she was only one of two,
0:39:12 > 0:39:16and that one of the sisters had had three sons,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19so that I had three cousins that I didn't know about.
0:39:19 > 0:39:24Joanne had a lot to take in in a short space of time,
0:39:24 > 0:39:29and it wasn't just her maternal family who were in mystery, it was also her mother.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I knew very little about my mum, really.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35My memories are very sketchy because she died
0:39:35 > 0:39:38just after my seventh birthday.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42My dad was, um...he didn't cope very well with her death
0:39:42 > 0:39:46and he just wasn't able to talk about her, really.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50And so...so we never spoke of her.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55And this silence included any mention or contact with her mother's wider family.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00It's really strange to get to your forties and then find out
0:40:00 > 0:40:03you had cousins you didn't know anything about,
0:40:03 > 0:40:07and now they've all got children and some of them have grandchildren.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12And my aunt who's still alive, to meet her a bit more
0:40:12 > 0:40:17and introduce her to my children and get the families together.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Getting to know her extended family also means Joanne can hopefully
0:40:23 > 0:40:25learn more about her late mother, Rita.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Cousin David has offered to try and help Joanne fill in some of the gaps.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35The two cousins have arranged to meet for only the second time in their lives,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37the first being at Evelyn's funeral.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Jo knows very little about her parents and the family,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46and I've got some family photographs that I can pass on to her.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Hello there, good to see you. - And you.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54David has prepared family photos that Joanne will be seeing for the first time.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- That's our grandad in the First World War.- Wow!
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Gosh!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- That's the first photo I've seen of our grandad.- Well, that's...
0:41:07 > 0:41:10But the greatest revelation for Joanne has been seeing
0:41:10 > 0:41:13the snapshots of her mother Rita's life.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18That's Rita being held by her mother, our grandmother.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Can I get a copy of this?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- It's in there.- Oh, thank you. It's lovely.- I've copied most of these.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29It's fantastic, it's so lovely to see these photos,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- it's just amazing.- Of course, you haven't seen any of these. - I haven't seen any of them.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37I've got one photo of my mum when she was obviously grown up and that was it, really.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- Right.- That's all I've got. So these are just amazing.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45The conversation turns to their Aunt Evelyn.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49David brings Joanne up to speed on how he's dispelled the myths surrounding their aunt.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Her supposed emigration to Canada,
0:41:52 > 0:41:56uncle George convincing the neighbours he was a German,
0:41:56 > 0:42:01the separation from the sisters, but also her happy life with George.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04They weren't hiding themselves away,
0:42:04 > 0:42:10they obviously had lots of friends, very friendly with the neighbours.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15The reunited cousins may never know the reason
0:42:15 > 0:42:17their family broke apart,
0:42:17 > 0:42:22but whatever DID happen makes no difference to the way Joanne feels today.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26I feel very sad that I hadn't met Evelyn and that she lived so close
0:42:26 > 0:42:28and I could have known her,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32but I should be eternally grateful that she has been the catalyst
0:42:32 > 0:42:35to bring the family together and to enable me
0:42:35 > 0:42:39to find out about people in my family that I never knew existed.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Evelyn, the family's mysterious sister and aunt, has not only left
0:42:44 > 0:42:48a legacy that has brought the family together, but also her six heirs
0:42:48 > 0:42:54will now share their enigmatic aunt's £330,000 inheritance.
