Foster: son of William of Worcs., paup., PEMBROKE matric. 17 Dec. 1687 aged 15; BA 1691; incorp. Cambridge 1699; MA KINGS 1669[presumed error for 1699]; R of Great Bromley, Essex 1695; V of Ashelworth, Gloucs. 1695-1716 and of Corse 1699-1716. See Foster Ind. Eccles.
Venn in agreement but confirms the MA was 1699 and gives ordained priest 3 June 1694.
Draft Gloucestershire VCH for Ashelworth confirms he was vicar of Ashelworth and Corse as stated (despite what appears to be a second institution at Ashelworth in 1700), and also that he was in addition vicar of a parish in Essex. However, the Charles Smyth/Smith at Great Bromley is recorded as having died in 1710 - not sure where error lies.
