Places with no voters
The following places :-
Babingley, Bawsey, Gayton Thorpe, Mintlyn and Wolferton
had no one who lived there and voted because of a freehold in the same place. Note that voters may still have lived there and voted because of a freehold held elsewhere.
Legend
- 1. The list of the Hundred abbreviations is on the main 1768 Poll Book (Crouse) page.
- 2. W. Chase also published this list of voters. This has enabled a comparison between the two. The differences are as follows:-
- Many surnames were spelt as they sounded. Crouse seems to have added an "e" to the end of many names such as "Browne"/"Longe". For many both spellings have been included.
- Some entries have the Surnames and Christian names transposed.
- There are also both incorrect Christian names and surnames.
- Some people are in one book but not the other as indicated.
- The alternatives from Chase are enclosed in square brackets - "[]" as indicated below :-
- "[-]" means information differs from Chase.
- "[+]" means preceding information was not in Chase.
- "[DF="place"]" indicates a place of freehold in Chase which is different to that here.
- "[DR="place"]" indicates a place of residence in Chase which is different to that here.
- "[xyz]" eg. "[Cl.]" or "[Esq;]" indicates additional or different text in Chase.
Notes
- 1. 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.
- 2. One of these "Thomas Taylor's" is down as Rougham in Chase publication?
Freebridge Lynn Hundred is followed in the Poll book by Gallow Hundred.
