Notes

  • 1. Gorleston has been transcribed in full even it did not become part of Norfolk until much later.
  • 2. There are a number of people who may be the same who voted in the 1727 Suffolk poll These include the surnames :- Bristoll/Brewstow, Hagen/Heggin, Kellett/Killet, Taverner/Tavernor
  • 3. Mendham is partly in Norfolk so has been transcribed in full, so the places of residence here are in Suffolk.
  • 4. Southtown is now part of Great Yarmouth.
  • 5. Thetford here comprises the parts of "Thetford St. Cuthbert" and part of "Thetford St. Peter" which are in Lackford Hundred in Suffolk.
