Sounds typical of an ancient install. How old is it?

If you have no earth feed on the lights, your new lighting will not
meet modern safety regs. You can make that aspect ok by using only
plastic or double insulated fittings and plastic screws in any added
plastic switch faceplate, but it would never pass a safety inspection
as it will not meet current gregs.
