Notes

1. This could be MUFFETT?
2. Aufrier is also seen spelt as AUFRERE.
3. 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.
4. Norwich residents could NOT vote because of a Freehold in the City. This explains why everyone has a place outside the city against their names.
5. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1734 Poll Book page.

Places with no voters

The following place :-
Nordelph
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 Whinburgh with no freehold entries but with the following :-

John Coleman, a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Hardingham (in Mitford Hundred) because he lives there but claims a vote because of a freehold in Whinburgh (Whinborough).

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

Towns and Parishes

The book contains the following (where "A" is Acle to Aylsham etc.):-

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
I	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q
R	S	T	U	W	Y

Outside Norfolk (By County)
