Finding REALLY old shares??

Cook_County

My dad bought shares in 1963 and 1964 in Reserves Securities Trust Limited (an investment trust or a unit trust I imagine).


The registrars back then on the share certificate were Minster Trust Group Services Ltd.


I have failed to find out what happened to "Reserves Securities Trust Limited". I assume it was long ago acquired by another investment house; but all I have are the 1960s share certificates.


How would I find out what happened to the company???

Are there any company numbers listed on the certificates?

The registrars back then on the share certificate were Minster Trust Group Services Ltd.

This might be this firm - it was the UK banking and asset management subsidiary of Groupama SA
