Those annoying Roger Corbets

Unfortunately there were lots of people with this name, both from Moreton Corbet and elsewhere. I recently created a page for the 16th century MP for Truro, who was actually a Shropshire man, and father of the famous Sir Andrew. The unfortunate result is that it has activated red links on this page. The MP of 1391 now has a decent entry at History of Parliament Online, so I'll create a Wikipedia page for him when I get the chance. Meanwhile, I've turned him back to a redlink by adding a death date to him. There was actually a contemporary of exactly the same name, an MP for both Shrewsbury and Shropshire, who isn't even on the list yet. Fortunately, we can forget about him until the time is right. The earlier Roger Corbet, MP in 1319, is more of a problem. Paliament Online doesn't cover the earlier period. Augusta Corbet's family history has a bit on him, starting from page 174, so he can be covered in time. I've added "of Caus" to his name to distinguish him. For centuries, the Moreton Corbet branch more or less alternated Roger and Robert as names for first-born sons, as did offshoots from the family, so they only have themselves to blame if we get a bit confused!
