    Agreed. As I said, it does seem likely. As an aside, maybe Trove or something similar will reveal shipping records when he left Honolulu?

    Loxops wolstenholmei Rothschild, 1893

    Henry Palmer paid for E.B. Wolstenholme's passport and passage from Honolulu to New Zealand on 26th August, 1893. This was the payment register - I assume the actual travel date was around this timeframe - HCP paid Wolstenholme's final weeks' wages to 7th August, 1893. 'Ted' (or Ed as HCP...

    Loxops wolstenholmei Rothschild, 1893

    Yes, it is an amazing account of R.C.L. Perkin's incredible career. It is a landmark work on the subject, with impressive in-depth research. I met Neal at the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu not long after the book was published. He told me his wife was absolutely relieved that he had...

This is why I added an updated version of my post to a new thread. At the grave risk of repeating myself, here is the...

    Loxops coccineus wolstenholmei: More info on Edward 'Ted' Wolstenholme, assistant bird-collector with Rothschild team in Hawaii, 1890s

    Just posting some info relate to previous old threads I'm going to free-flow here, hopefully I'll be reasonably accurate! I'm surprised that 'Ted' is England born, as he was a good friend of George Munro, a New Zealander who accompanied H. C. Palmer (HCP) to the Hawaiian islands in December...
