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.

Defiinitely Wright - see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/316219/ and http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/316576/

There was a Dr.Wright (and daughter), who lived in Keswick about this period. Borrer speaks of them in an article in The Phytologist - Nov 1844.

I think that this Wright may be Charles Hewer Wright (born circa 1797/8, baptised Ambleside). Married, wife Betsy. Died 1866, recorded as a geologist, whilst his daughter Maria - is described as a botanist in census returns. Lived Crosthwaite, St John's Street.
