p.282 ; 1889, pp. 73, 95, 112, 124 ;  1890, pp. 79, 126 ; 1892, pp.92, 124, 141; 1893, pp. 47, 112 ; 1894, p. 61; 1899, p 14 ; 1901, p. 104.

The publications of the Lincoln Record Society naturally contain many references. All these volumes are admirably indexed.
The Universal British Directory of 1791 describes the town at that date and gives a list of the principal inhabitants. The Lincolnshire Directories, first published by White in 1826 and now produced by Kelly are obvious sources of information.
An Affray between Justices of the Peace here in the time of Henry VIII was described by Edward Peacock in a paper read to the Society of Antiquaries in 1869 (Proc. Soc. Ant. 2nd Series, Vol. IV, pp. 317-27 ; see also The Antiquary, April, 1882, p.159).
The History of the Grammar School, by T. G. Dixon and H. E. J. Coxon, printed by Parker of Caistor in 1932, has already been mentioned. There is also a valuable article on Caistor Grammar School by T. M. O. Cross in The Lincolnshire Magazine, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1933, p. 241.

During the second half of the nineteenth century, Henry Evan Smith of Caistor (1828-1908), house-painter, rating officer, artist and journalist, was local correspondent for the Stamford Mercury, the North Lincolnshire Star and other papers and his articles are of considerable value. Many of these, as well as numerous MS. notes by Smith, are in mv possession and I should always be glad to afford access to them.
