Notes

  • 1. Some variation will be found in the names of the freehold parishes. eg. "St George Colgate" is now "St George Colegate". See the main 1734 Norwich Poll Book page.
  • 2. Where a name is marked thus "(*)", this indicates later corrections should be applied as per the Errata on pages 103 or 107.
  • The publishers say :- "All the Christian Names and Surnames that are printed in Italic, and all the Freeholds or Callings that are printed in Roman, amounting to above 500, are such as we have ascertained by actual Enquiry, either of the Persons themselves, or of such as knew them well."
