They were all traded by different companies is this something tracable. Thank you

Answer
From the information I have available,

Tormont had its charter cancelled in 1978. No current value.

Bidcorp went through numerous name and capital changes (a 1 for 16 reverse split, then a 1 for 4, then a 1.5752 for 1 forward, then a 1 for 5 reverse) and is now Dolly Varden Resources. Dolly Varden trades on the TSX Venture for about 23 cents per share. You need to contact the current transfer agent, Equity Transfer (www.equitytransfer.com) to confirm if your old shares are valid.

Garskie had its charter cancelled in 1976. No value.

McMarmac had its charter cancelled in 1978. No value.

Batch-River was dissolved in 1973. No current value.
