Notes
- 1. Entries which had christian names starting with "I" have been changed as follows :- "Ia." and "Iames" to "James" and "Iohn" to "John" etc.
- 2. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1714 Poll Book page.
- 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. Surname spelling varied and below are some alternatives which are to be found in the other Norfolk Poll Books which may refer to the same families : Clues/Clews, Goffin/Goffen
- 5. Stardbrook is probably Stradbroke in Suffolk?
