Notes

  • 1. Some variation will be found in the names of the places in the book. Standard place names are given in brackets () following where necessary so that places are found with a search.
  • 2. Surname spelling varied and below are some alternatives which are to be found in the other Great Yarmouth Poll Books which may refer to the same families :- Coltwas/Coultwas, Emes/Emms, Harridance/Harridence, Harrold/Arrold
  • 3. The publishers have used "Gorlestone" to refer to "Gorleston" in Suffolk.
  • 4. Many places outside Norfolk had seafaring connections through trade and shipbuilding. Some of those given as residences are listed below together with the Chapman county codes in "[]" in which they lay in 1777 :- Chatham [KEN], Deptford [KEN], Greenwich, London [LND] and Woolwich [KEN].
