Notes

1. Hundred is spelt as CLACKCLOSS in Poll book but can also be spelt as CLACKCLOSE.
2. Mr Thomas WHITEMAN's residence at Couldham may be Shouldham?
3. Mr Cook WILKERSON's residence at Mordlen could be Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen?
4. Mr William DEYE's residence at Warsham could be a mis-spelt Wareham (Wereham)? Mr George DEYE lives there.
5. Wm. Beaupre Bell GREAVES, Esq; lived at Fulbourn, Cambs.
6. 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.
7. Third column total ie. 2 missing.
8. "(-)" indicates who was voted for but this is included in count for original page.
9. "William Power" is not in Crouse Poll book.

Places with no voters

The following places :-
BEXWELL, FORDHAM, ROXHAM, SHINGHAM, SOUTH RUNCTON, STOW-BARDOLPH and WALLINGTON CUM THORPLAND
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 Stow Bardolph with no entries but with the following :-

Francis Rising is under Hockering because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.
William Barton a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Wiggenhall because of his freehold there but lives in Stow Bardolph.

Clackclose Hundred is followed in the Poll book by Launditch Hundred.
