historical share prices

I'm doing my income tax return & need to know the prices I paid for vodafone shares that I bought between 1999 thru to 2002. I've tried yahoo finance but its says that the historical data is not available for this stock. Does anybody know anywhere else I can get this information?

many thanks d

    The company's own website is usually a good starting point - here are the historical shareprice data ( scroll down ).

    many thanks Cheerfulcat - downloaded & getting on with my tax return BUT... the website only goes back to 1998 & I need prices back to 1997 (I got mixed up in my original thread).

    any ideas??

    Oooh, that's a little more difficult. You could try the company first - give them a ring and ask for investor relations. You could also try your local library - the librarians in mine were v. helpful, and looked up prices in old FTs for me. If it comes to the worst, you can pay ( it costs a fiver ) for the information from the Historic Price Service at the London Stock Exchange. This last has the advantage of coming in official form.

    There's some info here on getting historic prices, too.

    Good luck!
