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.

collector may be Foggitt in both cases. Handwriting on 2 labels similar.

If these were really collected by Mr William Foggitt in 1850 (when he was about 15 years old) they are his earliest by some 16 years.

Please ignore that comment - I've just found another batch of specimens.
He was a very early starter - from the age of 12!

Howthorpe (Castle Howard) near Hovingham, SE675725 - the collector's label in the distinctive hand and style of Henry Ibbotson.
