Places with no voters

The following places :-
Alderford and Little Witchingham
had no one who lived there and voted because of a freehold in the same place. Note that voters may still have lived there and voted because of a freehold held elsewhere.

Legend

1. The list of the Hundred abbreviations is on the main 1768 Poll Book (Crouse) page.
2. W. Chase also published this list of voters. This has enabled a comparison between the two. The differences are as follows:-
- Many surnames were spelt as they sounded. Crouse seems to have added an "e" to the end of many names such as "Browne"/"Longe". For many both spellings have been included.
- Some entries have the Surnames and Christian names transposed.
- There are also both incorrect Christian names and surnames.
- Some people are in one book but not the other as indicated.
- The alternatives from Chase are enclosed in square brackets - "[]" as indicated below :-
  - "[-]" means information differs from Chase.
  - "[+]" means preceding information was not in Chase.
  - "[DF="place"]" indicates a place of freehold in Chase which is different to that here.
  - "[DR="place"]" indicates a place of residence in Chase which is different to that here.
  - "[xyz]" eg. "[Cl.]" or "[Esq;]" indicates additional or different text in Chase.

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.

Eynsford Hundred is followed in the Poll book by East Flegg Hundred.
