Notes

  • 1. Place was given as "CAWSTON WOODROW". Woodrow is a hamlet in Cawston.
  • 2. "(-)" indicates who was voted for but this is included in count for original page.
  • 3. 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.
  • 4. Total missing on original.
  • 5. "Fromanteel" is down as "Fromantle" in the J.Crouse publication of this poll.
  • 6. Place given is for Mr Humphry is "Barningham" - see next Note.
  • 7. There is no "Little Banningham" in Norfolk only a "Little Barningham" so this is currently assumed to be the same place?
  • 8. These places came from the J.Crouse 1768 Poll book.
  • 9. "John Jex" is not in Crouse Poll book.

Places with no voters

The following places :-
    BURGH next Aylsham, IRMINGLAND, MANNINGTON and WOLTERTON  
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 Stow Bardolph with no entries but with the following :-

  • Francis Rising is under Hockering because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.
  • William Barton a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Wiggenhall because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.

South Erpingham Hundred is followed in the Poll book by Holt Hundred.
