There are many similar anonymous Staffs sheets 1840 with a distinctive handwriting, eg: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/258714/
many of them from Madeley (Babington also collected in the county then but it is not his handwriting). Any suggestions?

There are many more uncompleted J W Daltry sheets - does anyone fancy a go at editing some? The handwriting is distinctive.
They can be found from the 'specimens' search by selecting Aberystwyth on 'collection, and 1835 - 1845 on 'dates'. Then choose any of those with an incomplete entry!
Those where no placename has been entered are mostley from Madeley Staffs, or Gravenhunger Moss Shropshire.

Many of these sheets have now been edited as collector either John William Daltry or Rev John William Daltry (1804-1879), however the name is still not coming up on the menu - does anyone remember how to fix this?

I've merged the various J W Daltry entries. The name should now appear on the drop-down list.
