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.

T W C? Not Thomas William Cowan who was born 1840. The Canal no longer exists - 'The Grand Surrey Canal...is the canal that aimed for Portsmouth but only got as far as Camberwell!' 'Surrey Canal is an area in inner south east London, situated 2 miles south of Tower Bridge, which was formerly home to a section of the Grand Surrey Canal' - interweb

Database differentiates between 'TWC' (as here) and 'T W C', but probably the same collector. The latter has three sheets all with the Jupiter symbol ♃ which could be taken as '4', and signifies 'perennial' (see link from this message).
