Internal doors for old house

Hi All, someone must have had a similar problem...
My parents have mostly refurbed a house built sometime around the 1900's. The doors upstairs were in a really bad shape so they threw them away (all doors are the same size so how hard can they be to find, right?). Sadly, not so easy. Anybody have any ideas where to get doors that are 1920mm x 710 and 1930mm x 710mm? Nothing fancy needed but it seems that modern doors can only be trimmed by about 10mm.
In the nort west if that makes a difference.

Yup, was in a similar position wanting some 1920s 4 panel internal doors. Been skip diving in the neighbourhood and have managed to rescue 9 doors in total. If you can't afford to wait, local building reclaim yards, ebay/gumtree, and facebook will be your best bet if you want period.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.4 -
Good shout. Thanks for that. Might end up seeing if a local handyman/joiner would cut a nomal sized set down and make good.
