Reclaiming shares in Scottish and Southern Electric

How do I go about reclaiming shares in Scottish and Southern Energy? I believe I own a certain number of shares in this company due to previously owning shares in Scottish Hydro Electric and possibly also Southern Electric.
I cannot remember the exact set of circumstances now, but due to me changing addresses several times during the 90s, I lost all the paperwork relating to these shares. I was contacted a few years back by Georgeson Shareholder Services who offered to reclaim these shares for me for a SUBSTANTIAL fee.
Is there any way I can reclaim them at no cost or for a small nominal fee?
I would be grateful for your help

Can't you just write to the registrar for SSE and give your full details including all your previous addresses? BTW, what's happened to all those nice dividends over the years?I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

Thank you Annisele and gadgetmind. I will get in touch with them. Any idea how much it will cost to get a new certificate?0

From some dealings with an estate last year a figure of around £50 - 60 comes to mind, it is not simply replacing a piece of paper it involves admin and indemnity charges
