Somewhere I have my 1960s cheque book from the National Commercial

have no record of it...

I think there is a central registry of old banks and who (should) now
have the details of the old accounts but see another post that indicated
the government is about to (or has already) grabbed that money. I have
some vague memories of that but not having any dormant accounts I didn't
pay that much attention, was quite a while ago I heard.
