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. There is an occupier called "N. Silence" at Great Bircham.
- 3. The "Holme" here are probably "Holme-next-the-Sea" but there is also a "Holme Hale".
- 4. "Little Bircham" has not been seen in other documents. Whether it is refering to one of the other Bircham's is unknown?
