Notes

1. Brand is usually Brandon Parva.
2. Felton is where in Norfolk, Feltwell?
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.

Places with no voters

The following places :-
GASTHORPE, QUIDENHAM and RUSHFORD
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.

Guiltcross Hundred is followed in Poll book by the Borough of Thetford.
