Lost shares in Kenmare resources

I have been trying without luck to track down the shares I have owned in the above company since the 1980s. It was a penny share at the time. And was for the long term. I contacted the company and they passed me onto their registrars, which were of no use to me, as I have no paperwork or share ref number for me to proceed with my enquiry. I feel i am continually jumping through hoops and getting nowhere. Any help out there would be much appreciated.

    What evidence do you have that supports your assertion that you hold shares in this company?

    Just remember, they did a share consolidation in 2016 (200 for 1).  So if you've noticed the share price recently, you may need to bare that in mind.
