I'm renumbering the hymns in EHT1880, and I see that quite a few of them are "named" "Barnby's Hymnary, Tune xxx". What exactly is Barnby's Hymnary and where can I consult it? And is there an index available cross-referencing its tune numbers to tune names if they have any?

It looks like the hymnal names these tunes are "Barnby's Hymnary, Tune xxx" so that is the name you should use. You should search Hymnary (by incipit or composer) to see if you can find the tune by a different name in the database, and link it to the authority id.

for the instance, but I'm just wondering if there is a resource (here or elsewhere) that would make finding the right tune authority for them easier than Melody Search, plus I'd be interested in simply seeing scans of the work, which (at least under the name "Barnby's Hymnary" doesn't appear to be in the database.
