Notes

↑ Knox was returned in the ballot for Irish borough constituencies held in December 1800. However, he had been lost at sea the previous month while on his way to take up the post of Governor of Jamaica. This was not known at the time of the ballot. No writ to replace him was issued until 4 Nov 1801
1 2 At both the 1802 and 1806 elections, George Knox was also returned for Dublin University, and chose to sit for that seat rather than for Dungannon.
↑ Thomas Alexander Dickson had been re-elected at the general election in April 1880, but his election was declared void on 10 June 1880
