Initially he worked on the island of Antigua itself but later he also worked on the islands of Montserrat and Nevis. He died, two days after his wife, on 19th January 1830. They left four children (one of whom was called Ann). The youngest child (eleven months old) was adopted by Mr & Mrs Otter of Romford in Essex. |

Also within the records of the (Wesleyan) Methodist Missionary Society is the official correspondence (with journal extracts) for Thomas Kennington Hyde (MMS/West Indies/Correspondence/General/FBN 3-8). Furthermore, the synod minutes will detail his work, and that of his colleagues, for much of the time he was resident in the Antigua District (MMS/West Indies/Synod Minutes/FBN 1).
There is one letter by Hyde within the Steele Collection (MMS/Special Series/Various Papers/FBN 46).
Brief summaries of his work appear in the printed annual reports of the WMMS for 1823 & 1824. An account of his and his wife's deaths is given in Wesleyan Missionary Notices (vol iv, May 1830). |
| note |
Presumably there was at least one other volume of his journal for the period October 1825 until July 1829. However, no such volume or volumes are known to be extant. |
