    Geo Ogleby/Geo Ogleby L:D: (1803)/George Oglevie Ld (1805), Porrett/Porritt
  • All the occupiers names were blank although they should have been filled in.
  • J D Copland had paid 15*Yearly rate so that no more tax was payable on the two blocks of land.
  • The quality of the fiche is very poor.
  • In the 1802 Norfolk Poll book :-
    • Bryant Howlett is a farmer living at Swannington.
    • James William Newton is a Clerk at Norwich
    • G. Ogilvie L.L.D lives in London.
