John Hyde Association 1880's search for estate
I am looking for information regarding the circa 1880's search that John Hyde's descendants began to find out what happened with his sizeable English estate. I am a descendant of his daughter Oriminah(sp?), who married Jacob Compton of N.J.. I have in my possession several original letters which appear to be official reports to the association members and also personal letters which detail the searchers efforts. However no results are listed. Was the estate ever discovered and or disbursed? The letters state the difficulty of finding out the details of what happened to it. The estate had been sealed in Bank of England vaults by an act of The House of Commons (or Lords I can't remember which).
