Notes

  • 1. This looks like it should just say "Lod(don) H."?
  • 2. This may be CARNELL?
  • 3. This surname is also seen as "BEATNIFFE" in "A List of Norfolk Benefices" 1847 by Dawson Turner.
  • 4. Bitcham W. could be Beecham Weld (Beechamwell)?
  • 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. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1734 Poll Book page.
  • 7. "Old Lynn" is marked on old maps on the west bank of the river.
  • 8. This "S." may mean "South Lynn"?

Places with no voters

The following places :-   Lynford and Lynn, North (North Lynn) 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 Whinburgh with no freehold entries but with the following :-

  • John Coleman, a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Hardingham (in Mitford Hundred) because he lives there but claims a vote because of a freehold in Whinburgh (Whinborough).

The Poll book continues with Towns and Parishes beginning with the letter M.

Towns and Parishes

The book contains the following (where "A" is Acle to Aylsham etc.):-

ABCDEFGH
IKLMNOPQ
