Default Trading UK ordinary shares in the US?

Hello all-
I'm completely new to this, but I have a unique situation and a couple
of questions so if there is anyone out there who can offer any
suggestions - please feel free!!!

I am in possession of a certificate of ordinary shares of Cookson
Group which is traded in the UK (CKSN). No one appears to be able to
help me to convert them to ADR's, so I am looking for a way to easily
trade these ordinary shares from the US.

Is there an easy way to do this?
I have contacted multiple brokers (Fidelity, TDWaterhouse, Harris
Direct, etc...) and no one seems to be able to trade these shares for
me.
How does all this work?

Any help out there!?

thanks in advance.
Marielle

Those all sound like discount brokers. Have you tried calling
any of the full-service (and full commission :-) houses? I
haven't looked, but I have to believe places like Merrill-Lynch,
etc. can place trades for customers in non-US markets.
