Notes
- 1. Two pages were numbered 85 on original and this has been given its correct number of 84 or rather 84-A for indexing purposes.
- 2. Clenchwarton (here on original) has been placed correctly in Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
- 3. Terrington St. Clement (here on original) has been placed correctly in Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
- 4. Terrington St. John (here on original) has been placed correctly in Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
- 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.
Places with no voters
The following places :-
ASHWICKEN, BABINGLEY, WOLFERTON, LITTLE MASSINGHAM, MINTLYN, SETCHEY, SOUTH WOOTTON and WEST BILNEY
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 Stow Bardolph with no entries but with the following :-
- Francis Rising is under Hockering because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.
- William Barton a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Wiggenhall because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.
Freebridge Lynn Hundred is followed in Poll book by the Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
