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.

W H P guessed as Pearsall, but who are the others?

[Roger Horton]

Perhaps the Purchas family : William Henry Purchas, A R Purchas (? daughter Alice Rosamund), plus someone called A B Purchas (? son Arthur Bishop). Confusingly Kent & Allen have 'Miss A B Purchas fl. 1881-1889'.
