Poll Books
The Poll books recorded the names of everyone in Cornwall who voted at Parliamentary elections along with the names of the person they voted for. There are three poll books for the County, all at the Cornwall Record Office. 1710 (CF4787), 1774 (DX622), 1790 (PD208). The qualifying criteria for the right to vote was based on the value of ones holdings, but as the century progressed this was relaxed to include leaseholds etc. Another limiting factor was the distance that had to be travelled to the appointed place for recording ones vote.  

1710                     1774                      1790
Poll Book 1710  Names for St Ive, Linkinhorne & Southill only extracted so far. The four candidates for the County in 1710 were George Glanville, John Trenavion, Hugh Boscawen, Richard Edgcumbe.
