  4. ^ Cornewall petitioned against Birch's election (in a dispute over the franchise), but Birch died before the dispute was resolved; no by-election could be called until it was determined whether Birch had been duly elected. His election was eventually annulled, and Cornewall declared to have been elected.

  6. ^ Later Rear-Admiral


  7. ^ Created The Lord Irnham (in the Peerage of Ireland), December 1768
