Notes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerk_of_the_Crown_and_Hanaper

The Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper was a civil servant within the Irish Chancery in the Dublin Castle administration. His duties corresponded to the offices of Clerk of the Crown and Clerk of the Hanaper in the English Chancery.[1] Latterly, the office's most important functions were to issue writs of election to the Westminster Parliament, both for the Commons and for Irish representative peers in the Lords.

Clerks of the crown and hanaper

  • 1603–37: Sir John King[38][39]
  • 1606–after 1619: Francis Edgeworth (brother of Edward Edgeworth[38][40]) jointly with Sir John King
  • 1637–after 1666: George Carleton[41] (Edward Nicholas in 1628 secured the reversion on the death of King, and sold it to Carleton for £1060,[42][43] granted in 1631.[44])
