Draper on heir hunters

[dotty.]

watching this and for the first time I think I know a family! the drapers in Ormskirk were a huge family but all related. My Dad worked with an Arthur Draper who's brother Stanley was sexton at Ormskirk Parish church. the brothers were in their sixties when I was little. There was also a shop called D called Draper's in Ormskirk in the 60s and I went to school with their son, it's really interesting when the family might be known to you.

does that make you an heir, dotty? You'd think they'd at least have got you on telly.

I think they'd want about 20%. There's something about that programme I don't like. It's as though we're watching grave robbers in action.

don't agree, the people they find have no idea they have a right to make a claim, they may take a % of the inheritance, but the people who benefit would have previously got nowt!
