Ben. Chris Blomfield mariner Ipswich
« on: Tuesday 07 March 23 21:16 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone read anything else on this page from 1892 polls

The other side of page is printed but professions are hand written.

Is this one person or several ?

I can decipher Benj Chris BLOMFIELD ?  mariner new street ?
But little else

Unless it says Wm . BLOMFIELD  mariner on next line

Thanks in advance

It's a list of 7 names. What is "1892 polls" ?

Thank you

English  poll books + electoral rolls
For  1790

So the line underneath is another Blomfield
It looks like wm to me .

The printed  part has James Blomfield London grocer
+ John Blomfield..
I can't read profession

John Blomfield's profession is Corn chandler.

The abbreviation after some of the names (handwritten and printed) probably indicates Ipswich.

Poll books are not the same as electoral rolls.
Electoral rolls list the names of people eligible to vote in a particular year.
Poll books show who each voter voted for in a particular election.

ADDED
Rob. Bird  Ip(swic)h
Jno. Beard  Ip(swic)h  Painter & Glazier  St Clem(ents)
Wm Berry –
Benj. Chris. Blomfield  Ip(swi)ch  Mariner  New St.
Wm Blomfield  Ips(wich)  Mariner
Richd Bruce  Ips(wich)  Baker
Jno Boley Jun(ior)

The full title of search was poll book and electoral rolls

* This record was Ipswich Suffolk

I didn't realise they were separate things

Well done on corn chandler
I saw that recently

Can anyone make out what it says before mariner for Ben Chris Blomfield & Wm Blomfield

Posted at same time thanks that's great
I don't know who the other Blomfield s are but will save them for future

I'd never have worked out Ips(wich)

Was trying to work out what kind of mariner he could be

* I think the BEARD name may be significant too
