Notes
- 1. Breccles entry which was incorrectly put here in has been moved to its correct location in Wayland Hundred.
- 2. These 2 entries had "ditto" but this looks incorrect, people may actually live in New Buckenham? In the other publication by J.Crouse they are down as New Buckenham.
- 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. "(-)" indicates who was voted for but this is included in count for original page.
- 5. Steel Jno Blacksmith was written in ink in one copy of this book.
Places with no voters
The following places :-
KILVERSTONE, ROUDHAM and EAST WRETHAM
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.
Shropham Hundred is followed in Poll book by Wayland Hundred.
