Notes
OR gives the first name of the Bodmin MP as Edward, but the Crown Office lists C193/32/8-10 have Edmund. For Knaresborough in 1584. Add. 38823 has William Poley of Gray’s Inn. No real life William Poley of Gray’s Inn has been found, and the William is assumed to be an error for Edmund, Clitheroe in 1586 has Edmund Poley of Gray’s Inn.
