Uncertain Towns & Parishes
A copy of the poll for the Knights of the Shire for the county of Norfolk, taken at Norwich, May 22, 1734 taken before William Woodley Esq., High Sheriff
The Towns are set in an alphabetical Order; and so are all the Freeholders under each Town.
Each Page consists of six Columns. The first contains the Names of the Resident Freeholders in each Town; the second, the Freeholds when different from the Place of Residency. The other four have the initial Letters of the Candidates Names set at Top, and the Black Lines drawn under them shew how every Freeholder voted.

Notes
- 1. Redmere (Redmore) was extra-parochial only becoming part of St John, Little Ouse in 1866. Feltwell in Grimshoe Hundred had a Richard and Joseph Rolfe both living there in 1768 poll.
- 2. This may be Honingham?
- 3. Rantham may be Wrentham, Suffolk?
- 4. Belchamp St Paul is in Essex.
- 5. Helverton may well be Holverston in Norfolk?
