Notes

  • 1. Samuel Boycott, Rector of Burgh St Peter was the son of a John Boycott of Norwich.
  • 2. 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 place :- Eccles
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.

Happing Hundred is followed in the Poll book by Blofield Hundred.
