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 see many of these labels (unfortunately not originals; so much info lost/destroyed) are they W H Painter? Was he curator at ABS, or did people send specimens to him personally?

Like you, have seen many such labels and assume that he was in the habit of receiving specimens from various friends / parishioners etc.
eg some of his many 'correspondents for the The flora of Derbyshire

As a friend of James Britten of BM(NH) he was well placed to acquire specimens. There is an informative biography on this site.
