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? 2 other sheets have been edited with the name 'Harman' - the name is written slightly more clearly on http://herbariaunited.org/sheets/MANCH/3041.jpg - W B Hannan? Suggesting W I Hannan who has 43 sheets of comparable dates & locations

"A memorial fountain to William Isaac Hannan was erected in Stamford Park, Stalybridge, in 1909 by the Ashton and District Linnaean Botanical Field Naturalists' Society. It is located next to the bowling pavilion in the park."

Thanks - surprising what turns up. Perhaps one of us will one day be similarly commemorated
