Notes
It is sometimes difficult to distinguish this Thomas Cole from his namesake of Melcombe, who sat in the Parliaments of 1399 and 1407; since both Members held property in each of the two towns. But, generally, they were described as ‘Thomas Cole of Weymouth’ and ‘Thomas Cole of Melcombe’, and the latter outlived the former.
