Foster [but seems wrong, confusing him in part with William];
Foster gives him: son of Thomas of Nether Seale, Leics, Doctor (CCED ID 61561); CHRIST CHURCH m 2/5/1780 aged 18; BA 1784, MA 1801, R Seale 1785 to d. 3/10/1829. See Foster BARONETAGE
It becomes very clear that Foster is incorrect about his being rector of Seale - this is William Gresley (CCED 61562)(qv)
The entries below give him a death date of 1817/18 and this data base has no record that makes him R of Seale from 1785 to 1829
