Foster: son of Henry of Stretton super Fosse, Warickshire, cler. (CCED ID 153098); TRINITY matric. 6 Nov. 1690 [aged 17]; BA 1694; [V of Elburton in Bristol City 1704]; R of Stretton on the Fosse 1709
Foster clearly makes errors; Baptist is more likely to have been born in 1669 not 1673 (baptised at Stretton July 1669); he does not appear to have been at Elburton, Glos. near Bristol, but to have been at Eburton/Ebberton/Ebrington in north Gloucs. near Chipping Campden; he may have been curate at Stretton also 1702-09. (web site of www.sharon's-tree.co.uk which appears to be a careful account) The same error of confusing Eburton, near Chipping Campden with Elburton near Bristol is made by Foster for another Eburton rector Thomas Andrews in 1715.
It may be a clerical error which describes Baptist Hickes in 1704 instution as 'Bart.' - confused him with the same named person who would have been Viscount Campden/Baron Ilmington around the same time and who lived at Campden and is commemorated in the church there?
