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.
- 2. All the Hundreds and Candidates together with their abbreviations are to be found on the main 1734 Poll Book page.
Places with no voters
The following place :- Pensthorpe 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 Q.

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 |
