Notes

In other rate documents the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
Geo Ogleby/Geo Ogleby L:D: (1803)/George Oglevie Ld (1805), Porrett/Porritt
All the occupiers names were blank although they should have been filled in.
J D Copland had paid 15*Yearly rate so that no more tax was payable on the two blocks of land.
The quality of the fiche is very poor.
In the 1802 Norfolk Poll book :-
- Bryant Howlett is a farmer living at Swannington.
- James William Newton is a Clerk at Norwich
- G. Ogilvie L.L.D lives in London.
