How about Nevil Maskelyne (1823-1911), whose full name is sometimes 
referenced as Nevil Story-Maskelyne. Meteorites with MS number, that we know 
of are, Knyahinya, fell 1866 and Hessel, which fell in 1869. Story-Maskelyn 
was VERY active during the fall of both of these meteorites. I think it is 
very possible he had several meteorites at the time of those meteorites 
fell. His papers are wrote in that time period.

More information on Maskelyn can be found in Cosmic Debris.
