Foster: s. of Edward, of Bolton, Lancashire, cler.(CCEd ID 73389) BRASENOSE COLL, matric 23 May 1776, aged 16; BA 1780, MA 1782; rector of Eastham and Hanley with Chapelries of Orleton and Hanley Child, co Worcester 1790
There may be some questions on dates and appointments: two institutions to Eastham appear explained by his purchase of the advowson after his first institution with one patron in 1790 and then in 1805 with himself as patron and advowson owner.
He appears also to have been father of Edward (CCEd ID 21949) while he was curate at Bolton, 1789 and of William Bayly (CCEd ID 21950) when at Dean, Lancs.
