Pelagodroma marina eadesorum Bourne, 1953 OD here

It has been named for Mr. and Mrs E. A. D. Eades, who helped me to visit Cima.

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:

White-faced Storm-petrel ssp. Pelagodroma marina eadesi Bourne, 1953 [Trinomial may be changed to (plural) eadesorum]
Reverend Ernest A. D. Eades (c.1915–at least 1953) was a Nazarene missionary to the Cape Verde Islands. Bourne named the petrel after both Mr and Mrs Eades – hence the use of eadesorum would be correct – for their help in allowing Bourne to visit the small island of Cima.

The Key to Scientific Names

Revd. Ernest Arthur David Eades (1919-2018) and his first wife Jessie Eades née Munn (d. 1974) British missionaries to the Cape Verde Is. 1948-1969 (subsp. Pelagodroma marina).

So most solved. Only when Jessie Munn was born is missing (and maybe if they are still married in 1953 if Eades married a second time).
