Sir John Neale notes that the names differ from those given for 1563 "which normally is a sign of reliability" MPs 1640–1832 Notes References *Robert Beatson, ''A Chronological Register of Both Houses of Parliament'' (London: Longman, Hurst, Res & Orme, 1807*D Brunton & D H Pennington, ''Members of the Long Parliament'' (London: George Allen & Unwin, 1954) *''Cobbett's Parliamentary history of England, from ...
