Division

• The Shaykhi school crystallized after the death of Shaykh Ahmad Ahsai (see wiki reference on his bio)
• The division in the Shaykhi school happened after the death of Sayyid Rashti (please see ShiaChat discussion)

This is a direct quote from this discussion

The first group followed Merza Hassan Qohar where he used to live in Karbala. Others followed Mohammad Kareem Khan who lived in Kerman.

The followers of Merza Johar followed Ahmad Alehsaei path in Usool and faith, while Kermanis added things to the Ahsaei intellect as The Fourth Rekn (Alrekn Alreabe3) like Sufis, That shaykh Ahmad is the shaykh and the guide.

Unfortunately yes, there isn\t much about the school of shaykh Ahsaei in English. That is because who follow his school today are inactive. Moreover, the shaykh is oppressed intellectualy by shia like persian who prefare the phlosophy of Mula sadra.
