Hello !
Is there anyone here to tell me something of the cancellations
on these two stamps, or where to look for the right answer.
Thank you in advance.

I have a number of these on Irish stamps. Numbers identify which office processed the mail.

I don't have a list of offices, though. Here's a nice little article:

or google "triangular cancellation" on Irish stamps

(or substitute British for Irish & see what you get)

Thank you,Londonbus1 and 741opamp, for the answers.
I followed the link provided by 741opamp. It is quite an interesting article, though no thorough classification. Anyway, it looks the cancellations in question are English, as it says " The Scottish and Irish numbers were preceded by S or I." in the article.
goool search I have tried already, yielded no good results.

There is a little information on this page.

The reference on the third last line may give you some information if you can obtain a copy.

Good hunting.

Thanks a lot to everyone for good links and useful info. Yet, is it at all possible to find what the letters GHY stand for (also M33 combination) on my stamps?
