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 may be missing them but seems to be no sign of when (if not just 1909), where or by whom this was collected - Please amend if spot any of them!

Handwriting on lhs (smaller label) says Twycross in the hand of Bloxham, so probably quite early in date.



On his return to the UK, Bloxham was ordained, and became perpetual curate to Twycross’ (1837 – 71 ) in Leicestershire, and later Rector to Harborough Magna (1871 – 78 ).  Sometime before 1841, he married and his wife’s name was Ann.  They and their children (Andrew, Jane, Matthew, Lawrence ?) are recorded as living at Twycross in Census returns between 1841 and 1861.  The returns also indicate that they had servants and ‘private pupils’.

Many thanks - I had failed to read it as Twycross, my closest was Taycurt which I had taken to be a possible name of someone ascribing an ID. Interesting info on Bloxham. Thanks, amended. Mike d'A
