N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

This site (or collecter) name is a mystery to me

[Roger Horton]

Hannes appears to have been a title, created 1660, becoming extinct in 1703, held by Sir Humphrey Winch.
Variously called Hawnes (1st series OS 1834) or Haynes, the latter now mapped at TL0942 with the estate of Haynes Park ~2km west.

Thanks! Clearly worth checking historic names (another red herring: Hanes is Welsh for History)
