Notes

See Trans. Bristol and Glos. Arch. Soc. lxxiv. 110-11 where, however, the MPs of 1413 and 1423 are held to be two different men. Strensham was a common name in Glos. during this period, particularly in Tewkesbury. It is therefore unlikely that the Gloucester MP was the man of this name who officiated as searcher of ships in Melcombe and Poole from 1433, nor the merchant living in Bristol in 1436 who was still alive in 1465: CIPM, xii. 366; C135/210/4; CPR, 1401-5, pp. 146, 148; Bristol Wills (Bristol and Glos. Arch. Soc. 1886), 128-9, 140; Bristol and Glos. Arch. Soc. xxiv. 95.
