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.

Looks like William Mathews - and there are several of his sheets with similar handwriting.

Looks like the signature of William Mathews. Date fits and he was in the midlands about then.
