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.

Handwriting same as on similar sheet http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/338514/ by W McIvor 1846 no site name either

There's no handwriting sample for James Ward, but this appears to be his, judging by 4 other sheets of this species from Yorkshire, 2 of them from Wensleydale eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/337742/
