There is only one of this name in Foster (none in Venn or Dubl.) and could be this man:
Foster: son of James of Hereford, pleb., ORIEL, matric. 8 May 1724 aged 18; BA 1727
Could be same as CCED ID 128959 although no reason fro Norwich ordination in 1728 yet found. Appears to have been Reader (i.e. assistant to rector) at Ludlow from 1734 to 1759 - from parish registers. Bromfield (not Bromford) and chapel of Halford (not Hawford) very near Ludlow.
It is possible that he is also same as others personified under this name e.g. the rector of Aston from 1774 to 1785 who was also a BA but there is not yet any evidence to be sure of this. Other(s) of same name in roughtly same area also not found in Foster or Venn but these appear to be younger
