Notes
- 1. The printed Poll Book contained many christian names starting with the letter "I" such as "Ia.", "Iames", "Iohn", "Ios." etc. These have been changed respectively to "Ja.", "James", "John", "Jos." etc.
- 2. The christian name "Ios." could be "Joseph", "Josiah", "Joshua" etc.?
- 3. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1714 Poll Book page.
- 4. In the transcription of the Poll Book the modern spelling of place names has been added in brackets "()" to many of the entries so that a search will find them.
- 5. Surname spelling varied and below are some alternatives which are to be found in the other Norfolk Poll Books which may refer to the same families :- Ballard/Bellard, Cubitt/Cupid, Musset/Mussett, Pooly/Poole, Stead/Steed.
Places with no voters
Note that there may have been voters living in places but appearing elsewhere. An example of this is Arminghall with no entries but Nicholas Jacob, Gent. lived there but voted because of a freehold held in Needham above.
The Poll book continues with Towns and Parishes beginning with the letter O.
