Towns & Parishes beginning with R
A copy of the poll for the Knights of the Shire for the county of Norfolk, taken at Norwich, Feb, 1714-15.

Each Page consists of Six Columns. The First contains the Names of the Freeholders under each Town; the Second, the Place of their Residence, (when different from that of their Freehold) the other Four have the initial Letters of the Candidates Names set at Top, and the Black Lines drawn under them shew how every Freeholder voted.
Places
This contains the following parishes where property was held. The names in brackets "()" are alternative spellings as used in the original poll book.

Notes
- 1. The printed Poll Book contained many christian names starting with the letter "I" such as "Ia.", "Iames", "Iohn", "Ios." etc. These have been changed respectively to "Ja.", "James", "John", "Jos." etc.
- 2. The christian name "Ios." could be "Joseph", "Josiah", "Joshua" etc.?
- 3. "Rockland Tofts" (Wayland Hundred) is an alias for Rockland All Saints.
- 4. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1714 Poll Book page.
- 5. 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.
- 6. 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 :- Abbot/Abbott, Bamfield/Banfield, Barstard/Bastard, Bartram/Battram, Bradfeild/Bradfield, Breese/Breeze, Burman/Bullman? Cawson/Caston, Ghent/Gent, Harwold/Harrold, Holms/Holmes, Hounsfeild/Hounsfield, Mickelburgh/Mickleburgh, Moyse/Moyce, Playfor/Playford, Postell/Pestle, Ralphborne/Rethborne, Seago/Seagoe, Seranck/Searank, Sleight/Slight.
- 7. "West Flegg" is a printing error as Roydon near King's Lynn is in Freebridge Lynn Hundred.
- 8. Location of "Buddesdal." is unknown. If the freehold was in Roydon (near Diss) then Botesdale in Suffolk is a possibility? The 1734 Poll under Thornham had a "Budd's" which is also unknown.
- 9. "N.Brittin" looks like "North Britain" ie. Scotland.
- 10. "Gayard" could be Gayton or Gaywood both near King's Lynn or somewhere else?
Places with no voters
The following places :- Roxham, South Runcton, Runton and Rushford had no one who lived there and voted because of a freehold in the same place.
Note that there may have been voters living in these places but appearing elsewhere. An example of this is Arminghall with no entries but Nicholas Jacob, Gent. lived there but voted because of a freehold held in Needham.
The Poll book continues with Towns and Parishes beginning with the letter S.
Towns and Parishes
The book contains the following (where "A" is Acle to Aylsham etc.):-
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H |
| I | K | L | M | N | O | P+Q | R |
| S | T | U | W | Y |
| Uncertainties | -County Freeholders resident in Norwich- |
