Hi, If the Poll Books of Carmarthenshire are any guide then they contain only the Name, Parish of Residence and Parish of Freeholding. I'm unsure if people had to be just freeholders or if people with long and expensive leases were included. There is one I found in Henllan Amgoed and I'm fairly certain he was a leaseholder. Also says whom they voted for.The ones I found were for 1722,1727 and 1754.
