I do remember many years ago that HSBC did indeed take over Midland Bank.

So do you think if they took the bank book into hsbc they will give them the cash? even though it was midland bank?

They should be able to track down the account for her. There are still customers who have banked with Midland all their lives on the books, so someone will be able to find the account in the system, I imagine.

Take the Midland book into any HSBC branch and they'll sort it out. Might take a bit of time, but the money is your mum-in-law's and HSBC are responsible for all Midland's accounts.
