Candidates

  • A. = Sir Jacob Henry Astley, Bart.
  • C. = Thomas William Coke Esq.
  • W. = The Hon. John Wodehouse

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. There is an occupier called "N. Silence" at Great Bircham.
  • 3. The "Holme" here are probably "Holme-next-the-Sea" but there is also a "Holme Hale".
  • 4. "Little Bircham" has not been seen in other documents. Whether it is refering to one of the other Bircham's is unknown?

Places with no voters

The following places :-
    Bircham Newton and Bircham Tofts
