Woolwich/Barclays shares

My father who has recently passed away held Woolwich shares which I think he got free when they went public. I'm assuming they were then converted to Barclays shares at some point as I can find reference in his paperwork to Barclays dividends.

However I cannot find a share certificate. Can somebody tell me whether these are likely to have been held electronically in Crest?

Also does anybody know what a 'standard' allocation of Woolwich shares would have been and how many Barclays shares that is likely to represent?

Finally, does anybody know who/where the registrar is for Barclays shares?

Thanks very much in advance of your help

    Equiniti are the registrars

  • If you get in touch with the Registered Office of Barclays (should be on their website, if not try Companies House website), they will be able to tell you who holds the Share Register (legal requirement to tell you)
