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.

Cliviger,Thieveley Scout is the best place name I can find that matches where J.G.B was at that time

The collector says "N. Yorks", so it can't be Lancs. It is worth remembering that the collector was the man on the spot and usually knew where he was, even if we don't. Baker collected much about Thirsk.

I suggest Cleaves SE4983, just west of lake Gormire and about five miles east of Thirsk.
