Foster: son of Edward of Ratley, co. Warwick, pleb., HART HALL, matric. 12 May 1626 aged 17; BA 30 Oct. 1628; MA 29 Jun. 1631; perhaps R of Shenington, Gloucs. 1635 and of Oldbury, Salop 1667; see Foster Ind. Eccles.
Foster also lists another of the same name and says he was R of Shenington and of Oldbury at the same times as the above. (This would appear to be CCEd ID 17856 but it seems clear that the man ordained deacon in 1632 as below was the R of these benefices and not the other who was ordained priest in 1631. However, the CCEd records could be incorrect but the history as below does seem to be likely).
