Notes
- 1. Woodstow could be Woodton or___?
- 2. "Harridge" appears to have been corrected in ink as "Harris"?
- 3. "Wag. H." = "Wayland Hundred". "Rockland Tofts" is an alias for Rockland All Saints.
- 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. Entries marked "**" had no votes printed against them.
- 6. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1734 Poll Book page.
Places with no voters
The following places :- Roxham, South Runcton, and Runton had no one who lived there and voted because of a freehold in the same place.
Note that many people still voted based on a freehold held elsewhere. An example of this is Whinburgh with no freehold entries but with the following :-
- John Coleman, a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Hardingham (in Mitford Hundred) because he lives there but claims a vote because of a freehold in Whinburgh (Whinborough).
The Poll book continues with Towns and Parishes beginning with the letter S.
Towns and Parishes
The book contains the following (where "A" is Acle to Aylsham etc.):-
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H |
| I | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q |
| R | S | T | U | W | Y |
| Outside Norfolk (By County) | Uncertainties |
