Notes

  • 1. St Mary looks like an error for St Marg(aret).
  • 2. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1734 Poll Book page.
  • 3. Probably Barton Bendish but could be Barton Turf?
  • 4. 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.

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

Towns and Parishes

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

ABCDEFGH
