Notes

  • 1. Thomas Dodd was the Rector in 1730 of Billockby (West Flegg Hundred).
  • 2. Printing Error - Original said Aldby South Erpingham Hundred and has been corrected. Alby is situated 5 miles North of Aylsham.
  • 3. Printing Error - Original said Alby Clavering Hundred and has been corrected. Aldeby is situated 4 miles North-East of Beccles.
  • 4. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1734 Poll Book page.
  • 5. 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.
  • 6. Surname spelling varied and below are some alternatives which are to be found in the other Norfolk Poll Books which may refer to the same families :- Bassingthwayte/Bassingwayte, Ludbook/Ludbrook, Rippingall/Rippengall

Places with no voters

The following places :- Alethorpe, Ashby St Mary, Ashmanhaugh and Ashwicken had no one who lived there and voted because of a freehold in the same place.
