J Jackson and Mr J Jackson appear on the picklist with 5 specimens each. From the dates and area of their specimens, they are evidently the same person. J S Jackson and John Jackson also appear, with no specimens

Miss Potts and Eliza Potts, of the picklist, each with about 6 specimens, appear to be the same person

[Roger Horton]

Database has: Miss Potts, E Potts, Eliza Potts, and Miss Elizabeth Potts.

Eliza Potts is the one linked to an entry in Kent & Allen. Some of the others have Manchester specimens without images so are currently uneditable.

There are 2 specimens attributed to R Langton that should be R E Longton. The records have been locked. Is there any way the name can still be edited?

'Dr Graham' appears twice in the picklist, one with 61 specimens, one with 13, from the same range of dates & geography

'Prof William Harold Pearsall (1891 - 1964)' of the picklist has 36 specimens entered in h@h, 'William Harold Pearsall (1891 - 1964)' has 39, 'Mr W H Pearsall' has 18, and 'Mr William Harrison Pearsall (1860 - 1936)' also has 36. All of these specimens are of overlapping dates and geography, with none later than 1935.

As well as the numerous specimens of Thomas Jackson Foggitt (jnr) - 107, his father Mr William Foggit - 61, (his grandfather Thomas J Foggitt - 34, and his wife Mrs Gertrude Foggitt (nee Bacon) - 19, including specimens collected in her maiden name of Bacon, searches find two less definite collector names.
1) 'T F Foggitt' with 8 specimens in herb I Helsby, 1908-31.
The Helsby specimens are uniformly labelled by Helsby, are quite likely to have been written long after the date of collection. I think the name 'T F Foggitt' here is as likely as not to be a mis-transcription of Thomas Jackson Foggitt (jnr) 1858-1934, and could be so re-edited, with a caveat in the 'notes'.
2) 'Mrs T Foggitt' with 6 specimens in herb DM Heath, 1881 - 1936. These specimens are a mixed bag, needing to be treated one by one. Mrs Gertrude Foggitt may not be meant: D M Heath's has many other sheets clearly labelled as collected by either Mrs Foggitt or Miss Bacon; the couple seem to have married late, and Heath's labels don't change from Miss Bacon to Mrs Foggitt until after 1930.
