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.

? J B

[oldnick]

J B in Surrey etc in the 1960s - 70s is Jean Byatt; she sometimes collected with Wallace.

[Roger Horton]

Yes, she's in the list as 'Mrs Jean Irene Byatt' but I am not sure she collected with Edward Charles Wallace who was active ~1924 to ~1944.

The reference 25B4 suggests TQ25I which fits with Burgh Heath.

[oldnick]

There are various collections together with Wallace on H@H, regardless of his age.

[Roger Horton]

Yes, although there are gaps in his collecting, I now find his lifespan to be 1909-1986 see HERE [pdf].

I've updated Wallace's entry with his dates and a link to the BBS article.
