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.

Any suggestions for 'E B junior' - similar to sheet http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/237278/

Backhouse ?

[oldnick]

That does seem quite possible! E / Elizabeth Backhouse has just two specimens, dated 1842 and 1844. And William Backhouse has one undated specimen, from Ripon, MW Yorks, which is also ex herb Salmon.

Information from David Price:

Descendants of Edward Backhouse 1781–1860
Edward Backhouse (1808–1879), born in Darlington on 8 May 1808, was a son of Edward Backhouse (1781–1860), Jonathan Backhouse's son. A philanthropist, artist, pioneer photographer, and historian, he is best known for his Early Church History (with C. Taylor, 1884) and other religious works.

- hence most likely 'E B junior'? No info re Elizabeth
