My father was given the name Robert Barnes Hyde. He was the only son of Frances Jane Hyde (nee Barnes)and Henry Hyde. Frances was the eldest daughter of Robert & Jane Barnes. My father died in 1968 and my grandmother (Frances Jane) died in 1969. Since then I have had no contact with my father's family and would like to be in contact with living members.
