Notes
- 1. This looks like it should just say "Lod(don) H."?
- 2. This may be CARNELL?
- 3. This surname is also seen as "BEATNIFFE" in "A List of Norfolk Benefices" 1847 by Dawson Turner.
- 4. Bitcham W. could be Beecham Weld (Beechamwell)?
- 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. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1734 Poll Book page.
- 7. "Old Lynn" is marked on old maps on the west bank of the river.
- 8. This "S." may mean "South Lynn"?
Places with no voters
The following places :- Lynford and Lynn, North (North Lynn) 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 Whinburgh with no freehold entries but with the following :-
- John Coleman, a Clerk (Clergyman) is under Hardingham (in Mitford Hundred) because he lives there but claims a vote because of a freehold in Whinburgh (Whinborough).
The Poll book continues with Towns and Parishes beginning with the letter M.
