From Wiki
Rev. Augustin Ley (3/4/1842-23/4/1911)
Ley was born in Hereford, and was the son of the Rev. William Ley. He was educated at home and then at Oxford. He married but his wife died shortly after their honeymoon. He collected extensively in Herefordshire and along the Welsh Borders for many years, publishing a Flora of Herefordshire in 1889 (in conjunction with W Purchas). He was very knowledgeable on Bryophytes.
He was Vicar at St Weonards (near Ross) and then Sellack and Kings Caple (until 1908).
