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.

I can find no place names like Crawford Cress/Crawford Cross or variations of. There is a Crawford in Lanarkshire, but a bit far I feel. During October Linton has one record from Kingston Dorset, but I can find nothing there.

Or perhaps Cranford Cross SS555215. The label has been transcribed and BIRM's labels are frequently unreliable.
