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.

Can anyone make sense of the collector's name?

W Tresidder - see

Rubus - a particular interest.

Think he might have lived Perranzabuloe Parish (lots of records for that area) - census returns suggest : Goonhavern, elementary school teacher ? bit speculative

Thank you. I don't know how you tracked that down.
