Hi JJ
Unfortunately the family bible is not in my possession, it belonged to a lady in Horncastle but I believe she has since passed away and I have no idea what happened to it.  My cousin met her years ago and copied all the entries out.  I have a Mary Claricoates born Leicester 1821, married Richard Carter, is that the right Mary?  If so, I am a descendant of her brother Robert b. 1824 Leicester, married Jane Staples 1855 Leicester.  He was also a boot and shoemaker on Belgrave Gate, Leicester.
I am posting you a personal message with my e-mail address in order that you can e-mail me and I will let you have more information.  By the way, I have a copy of the Town Crier article and also a copy of his painting I can let you have.

JJen, I am a descendant of Robert Claricoates and have traced the family back to the 1500s.  The information above is correct and Robert was born 23rd September 1794 at 2.15pm, this information is from the family bible.  He moved with his parents Robert and Mary (Gill) from Digby to Horncastle by way of a settlement certificate dated 23rd March 1795.  Robert (b. 1764 Digby) was indeed the Town Crier of Horncastle.  Could the article you read about the Town Crier have been in the Horncastle News?  If so, it was myself and a cousin that went to Horncastle and was interviewed by the reporter for the article.  We were hoping that we would find descendants and more information about the Claricoates family.  Are you a descendant?  If so, I would love to hear further from you.

JJ  I am a descendant of the same Claricoates family and have researched the family tree back to the 1500s, if you need any more information let me know.
