  1. Walker suggests J.J. Richardson (elected 1853), was a different person from Jonathan Richardson (elected as a Liberal in 1857 and as a Conservative in 1859). Stenton, whose entry for the MP is mostly based upon the 1862 edition of Dod's Parliamentary Companion , states that Jonathan Richardson was "First returned for Lisburn Oct. 1853, and sat until he accepted Chiltern Hundreds Feb. 1863", but also notes a distinct Jonathan Joseph Richardson, MP for Lisburn August 1853 to 1857; the dates confusingly overlap. Contemporary newspaper reports indicate that the two were distinct; see Belfast News-Letter 1 April 1857 and Northern Whig 2 April 1857.
