Notes

1. Breccles entry which was incorrectly put here in has been moved to its correct location in Wayland Hundred.
2. These 2 entries had "ditto" but this looks incorrect, people may actually live in New Buckenham? In the other publication by J.Crouse they are down as New Buckenham.
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. "(-)" indicates who was voted for but this is included in count for original page.
5. Steel Jn^o Blacksmith was written in ink in one copy of this book.

Places with no voters

The following places :-
KILVERSTONE, ROUDHAM and EAST WRETHAM
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.

Shropham Hundred is followed in Poll book by Wayland Hundred.
