Foster: son of James of Watlington, Oxon., cler. (CCED 37423) QUEENS matric. 23 Jan. 1809 aged 19; BA 1812; MA 1817; PC Marston Meysey, Wilts (Gloucester dio.) 1817 until his death 27 Jan 1856.
Stained glass memorial window to him in Down Ampney church.
There is a C. appointment for this specific name to Kemerton, Gloucs. but doubt this is same man, as the record says the Kemerton curate was ordained by Oxford 11 June 1797 and priest by Chester 24 June 1797 which certainly doesn't fit this JR Relton; Kemerton also in the opposite end of the county - although the commissary for the appointment is said to be an incumbent neighbour of Relton's at Meysey Hampton - and the name is not usual.
