Notes
- ^ Lord Digby was also elected for Dorset, which he chose to represent, and never sat for Milborne Port
- ^ Medlycott was re-elected at the general election of 1708, but had also been elected for Westminster, and did not sit for Milborne Port in that Parliament
- ^ a b At the by-election of 1717, Harvey was initially declared elected by 27 votes to 22, but after considering a petition alleging gross bribery the House of Commons overturned the result and declared his opponent, Stanhope, to have been elected instead
- ^ At the 1747 general election, there was a double return for Milborne Port: Jeffrey French, Michael Harvey, Charles Churchill and Thomas Medlycott, junior were all returned (see "No. 8660". The London Gazette. 21 July 1747. p. 2.). The first two (i.e. French, Harvey) were seated (see Stooks Smith, page 535)
- ^ a b The result of the 1772 by-election was overturned on petition in May 1772, and Richard Combe was unseated in favour of George Prescott (Stooks Smith, p. 535)
- ^ At the by-election of 1772, Combe was initially declared elected but on petition the result was overturned and his opponent, Prescott, was seated
- ^ Created The Lord Muncaster (in the Peerage of Ireland), 1783
