Norfolk Freeholders living in Norwich
A copy of the poll for the Knights of the Shire for the county of Norfolk, taken at Norwich, Feb, 1714-15.
The Freeholders are set in an Alphabetical Order.
Each Page consists of Six Columns. The First contains the Names of the Freeholders living in Norwich; the Second, the Place of their Freehold, the other Four have the initial Letters of the Candidates Names set at Top, and the Black Lines drawn under them shew how every Freeholder voted.
This section contains poll book pages 275 to 283.
This section is a compilation of all those entries from pages "v", 6, through to 273 where the place of Residence is given as Norwich. People actually living in Norwich and voting because of a freehold in the City would have voted in the election held at the same time to elect MP's to represent the City of Norwich.
Note that all these places of Freehold must be in Norfolk.

[End of Poll Book]
Notes
- 1. The printed Poll Book contained many christian names starting with the letter "I" such as "Ia.", "Iacob", "Iames", "Iohn", "Ios." etc. These have been changed respectively to "Ja.", "Jacob", "James", "John", "Jos." etc. Other names which have been changed are :- "Ioel" to "Joel", "Ionathan" to "Jonathan", "Iehosaphat" to "Jehosaphat", and "Ioseph" to "Joseph".
- 2. The christian name "Ios." could be "Joseph", "Josiah", "Joshua" etc.?
- 3. This looks like a print setting error. Place could be Shelton where there is a "Robert Futter, Gent." in the 1734 poll or it could be somewhere else such as Scoulton?
- 4. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1714 Poll Book page.
- 5. 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.
- 6. Location of Whiston is unknown at present.
Towns and Parishes
The book contains the following (where "A" is Acle to Aylsham etc.):-
