  • Hi Reaper, thanks for your reply. I have no way of finding out if my mum did get paid for the shares but I expect she did, I can't see them missing her out. Thanks again.
  • My Step-father past away a few months ago and sorting through his belongings my wife and I came across 400 shares in Eastern Electricity plc in my step father name and my mother name dated December 1990 and October 1991.
    Who do I need to contact regarding these shares as my mother would like to cash them in.

    "Apparently anyone who had not sold their Eastern Electricity (which had been renamed Eastern Group plc) shares by October 1995 had a forced sale to Hanson plc at £9.75. "
