Series 4

Episode 1: Emms/Garner

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One WestLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

Beatrice Emms died aged 78 in July 2008 in Birmingham without any obvious living blood relatives. When the heir hunters discover her estate is worth an approximate eighty thousand pounds, they decide the challenge to uncover beneficiaries is one worth rising to but as names in birth, death and marriage records refuse to tally up, they are literally left tearing their hair out. Will the heir hunters manage to crack the case before their patience cracks or will a rival firm get there first?

Meanwhile, Celtic Research, have been trying in vain to solve the case of Nancy Elizabeth Garner for the last 16 years and have continually drawn a blank. It is only after a recent change in law that their researchers can finally gain access to clues which eventually lead them - via a workhouse in Wales - to beneficiaries of the 50 thousand pound fortune Nancy left behind. Along the way they also uncover an explanation for a difficult relationship which a brother and sister had always shared with their mother, but could never explain. Show less
