Foster: (as Arnald) s. Thomas, of Somerton, Somerset, gent. BALLIOL COLL., matric. 25 Feb. 1720-1, aged 20, B.A. 1724, as Arnold.
I have presumed that the ordinand of 1725 is the same as the rector of Over Compton, as the former was curate of Nether Compton at his ordination; also there is only one B.A. in Venn or Foster at the right time.
I have presumed that the TA at Over Compton is the same as the TA at Chaffcombe and Kingston - the career pattern fits.
