Are these characters in the public domain?

Hello
There are certain characters I would like to use on my merchandise but I don't know if they are still covered by copyright or not or if copyright was renewed or not. I have tried to find people who might know or who might be able to give me written permission/commercial licence to use them but have drawn a blank (mainly because publishers have closed down or artists have sadly died and I don't have details about their heirs etc). I would be grateful if anyone can help me regarding the following:
Cartoon character Muggy-Doo from the 1960s the cat version not the fox version
The original Little Audrey cartoon character (not the 'Playful Little Audrey' cartoon character later used)
Little LULU the cartoon character that preceded Little Audrey
Casper the friendly Ghost
Mopsy the teenage girl cartoon character
Little Eva
Eb and Flo
If they are still under copyright I'd be grateful for the contact details of who owns the copyright.
Thanks
