Heir Hunters looking for relatives of James Leask

The BBC1 programme Heir Hunters are appealing for anyone in Orkney and Shetland who thinks they may be related to James Leask, who passed away in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, on November 14, 2000, to get in touch.

The programme makers say that because the surname is common to the islands and believe there could be relatives who may be entitled to a claim of his estate. There was no further details available on Mr Leask.

The series follows the work of heir hunters, probate detectives looking for distant relatives of people who have died without making a will.
