Notes

1. For these few entries the christian names were printed "James" or "John" ie. they started with a "J" as opposed to an "I" everywhere else.
2. The printed Poll Book contained many christian names starting with the letter "I" such as "Ia.", "Iames", "Iohn", "Ios." etc. These have been changed respectively to "Ja.", "James", "John", "Jos." etc.
3. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1714 Poll Book page.
4. 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.
5. Surname spelling varied and below are some alternatives which are to be found in the other Norfolk Poll Books which may refer to the same families :- Golding/Golden, Hugo/Hugh

The Poll book continues with Towns and Parishes beginning with the letter W.
