Biography

Joseph Foster (1844-1905) began carrying out genealogical research early in his life, compiling peerages of Quaker familes (1862-1872), and of county families in Lancashire (1873) and Yorkshire (1874). He went on to publish Peerage, barontage and knightage (1879), Men at the bar (1888), and Admissions to Gray's Inn (1899). Foster also edited and supplemented J.L. Chester's London marriage licences (1887), and produced the Oxford matriculation register in Alumni Oxonienses (8 vols., 1887-1891).
