Sir Henry Manwaring continued piracy after 1621 election

On 30 Nov 1624, John Phillip gave testimony that "being in a ship with Sir Henry Maneringe, they took a Spanish ship about Cape St. Mary, and carried her to Mamora in which ship was a Spanish lady and diverse others. Being in Mamora, a Mr. Symon Tuchinge came into Mamora in a small ship, and after some conference had by the said Tuchinge with the Spaniards who had been taken, he was then employed in the small ship to Lisbon to fetch money for the ransoming of the lady, which he performed."^[1] Pay close attention to the date of this testimony. According to this, Sir Henry Manwaring continued to ply his trade as a pirate at least three years after his 1621 election as Member of Parliament from Dover. Note that I rewrote the above testimony from the original historic spelling and wording, which is difficult to read due to the poor spelling of the times.AdmPope (talk) 14:17, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Linked to wrong Sir Thomas Mainwaring

The link in the Family section to Sir Thomas Mainwaring goes to a page which says that he was the son of Philip Mainwaring of Peover Hall. This cannot be the correct Sir Thomas Mainwaring since his brother, Henry, was the son of Sir George Mainwaring.AdmPope (talk) 15:18, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
