o2 got taken over by Telefonica.
Couple of articles here that I just googled:

Not sure of the other two

TSB and Lloyds merged to be Lloyds TSB back in 1995 so try http://www.lloydsbankinggroup.com/investors/contacts.asp

I think one TSB share became one Lloyds TSB share plus a dividend. Not sure if there have been any changes since then (i.e. is one Lloyds TSB share from 1995 still the equivalent of one Lloyds TSB share in 2012) but one Lloyds TSB share is worth about 44p today - see https://www.share.com/cgi-bin/oicgi.exe/inet_tsc_dl2?epic=LLOY

Railtrack went into administration and the shares ended up as part of RT Group plc. Some payments were made to shareholders so could be worth chasing up the registrar who I think should be Computerhsare - https://www-uk.computershare.com/Investor/contactus/default.asp

Ooo thanks, I've got 1414 Standard Life shares!

I doubt that I bought them, I expect I got them free because I had an endowment policy with them

Sorry I think that links broken, try this one for info on Standard Life shares:

You should have been receiving dividends on your SL shares twice a year, @ ~5% you should have got a couple of hundred pounds per year.
Latest dividend paid on SL shares was 4.90p (~£70 on your 1414 shares) on the 14 Nov 2012 and before that a 9.20p (~£130 on your 1414 shares) per share on the 31 May 2012.

I have an old Abbey National paying in book..... I think that the dividends may well have been going into there. I will check on Monday...... How exciting!

In the mean time here is a link to Standard Life Dividend payment amounts and dates they were paid going back to 2007.

http://www.digitallook.com/cgi-bin/dlmedia/security.cgi?csi=186960&action=financials&sub_action=dividends&username=&ac=

Depending how long you have had these shares, If I take year 2007 as an example, the interim dividend paid was 3.80p plus the final dividend 7.70p, so total divi for 2007:
3.80+7.70 = 11.50p x 1414 (number of shares you hold) = £162.61

Or in this link it gives you total divi payout each year (Key Fundamentals, 2nd row from right under Div): https://www.share.com/cgi-bin/oicgi.exe/inet_raccount?function=dl2&pass=1&ac=&username=&csi=186960&action=financials&sub_action=&chart_type=div

Good luck, hope its good news for you.
