Notes

1. 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.
2. ERRATA says [Page 255] For Wathing read Watling - correction applied.
3. "(-)" indicates who was voted for but this is included in count for original page.
4. Ashwicken may be in Cambridgeshire?

Places with no voters

The following places :-
THUXTON
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.
