|[[Robert Lloyd (MP for Mineheadcourtier)|Sir Robert Lloyd]]<ref>This is the name given by Cobbett, whereas Browne Willis lists "Tho. Wentworth, Kt". There were two Thomas Wentworths in the House, but both sat for other constituencies, as Browne Willis correctly also records - [[Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford|"Tho. Wentworth, Kt. and Bart."]] for [[Yorkshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Yorkshire]] and [[Thomas Wentworth (Recorder of Oxford)|"Tho. Wentworth Esq"]] for [[Oxford (UK Parliament constituency)|Oxford City]]. While it is possible that either of these might also have been elected for Minehead and chosen to sit for their other constituency, allowing Lloyd to be elected in their place, Browne Willis usually records this, and neither could correctly be described as "Tho. Wentworth, Kt" at that time, although of course an error is perfectly possible.</ref>
