I see he was with D'Oyly Carte for many years. Are they G&S recordings? If so this might be a home for them?

Coleton Fishacre

Or the theatre collections of the V&A.

That is of course if no family connections surface. According to Wikipedia he doesn't appear to have had any children. But he does appear to have had a fascinating career.
