SP12/78/35 dated to 1571 in the calendar, was probably actually from 1563. This is discussed by Elton, Parl. of Eng. 1559-81, p. 260. - Rosemary Sgroi
SP12/107/15 List of deputy lieutenants in Wales and the Marches. Dated to 1575 in CSPD. In fact must be dated to November 1587. It is almost exactly the same as the list in CPR, 30 Elizabeth I (L. & I., 297), p. 172, item 1032, a commission to Pembroke as lord lieutenant in Wales and the Marches, with a list of deputy lieutenants, dated 2 December 1587. The only difference is that the SP 12 has John Packington as an esq., and the CPR has him as a knight. According to the DNB, Packington was knighted in November 1587, so this is probably a draft for a commission of lieutenancy to Pembroke (which would have specified the deputy lieutenants) dating from some time in that month, or shortly before. - Neil Younger
SP 12/115/12 ‘Report by Wm Perrott on the ship discovered and captured by him’ Perrot took a view of the ship, not the ship itself, and the ship is not stated to have been captured by anybody. - Helen Good
