Notes

1. Two pages were numbered 85 on original and this has been given its correct number of 84 or rather 84-A for indexing purposes.
2. Clenchwarton (here on original) has been placed correctly in Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
3. Terrington St. Clement (here on original) has been placed correctly in Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
4. Terrington St. John (here on original) has been placed correctly in Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
5. 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.

Places with no voters

The following places :-
ASHWICKEN, BABINGLEY, WOLFERTON, LITTLE MASSINGHAM, MINTLYN, SETCHEY, SOUTH WOOTTON and WEST BILNEY
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.

Freebridge Lynn Hundred is followed in Poll book by the Freebridge Marshland Hundred.
