General Notes: In August 1701 the hot blood of the Forsters showed itself when Ferdinando Forster of the Bamburgh family, and MP for Northumberland, quarrelled with John Fenwick of Rock. The quarrel took place over dinner at the Black Horse Inn, near the White Cross in Newcastle (in Newgate Street near the end of High Friar Street). Newcastle Assizes were then being held and the dinner party is said to have been for the gentlemen of the Grand Jury. Forster took offence when Fenwick sang a political song favouring the Fenwick interest, but others present managed to calm him down. Next day the parties happened to meet each other, also close to the White Cross. Swords were drawn and Forster was killed "between the White Cross and a thorn tree". Fenwick was eventually hung outside the Newgate Gaol amid strict security. He owned coal mines at Kenton and it was thought possible that the Kenton miners might attempt a rescue. To avoid the need to bring him out into the street, Fenwick was hung on a piece of timber fixed between the Gaoler's House (later the Burgoyne pub) and Newgate Gaol, one effect of which was to place him in a position where he was executed within sight of the scene of his crime.

General Notes: In a Document received from Patrick de Meulemeester in March 2021, he included the following:
The direct ancestry of Thomas Forster of Walthamstow is problematic because many records of the population of London at that time were destroyed during the Second World War but it is probable that he is the son of Thomas Forster 1659-1725.
Moreover, it is certain that Thomas Forster of Walthamstow is part of the descendants of the famous Forster dynasty of Bamburgh and Adderstone (Etherston) and here is what is taken up in the 'Dictionary of the Landed Gentry' written in 1847 by John Burke, renowned historian.
'The family Forster of Etherston is of great antiquity in Northumberland, frequently holding offices high-sheriff and member for the county. Sir John Forster, Knt. Banneret of Bambrough Abbey, a general in the army of Queen Elisabeth was Lord of the Warden of the Middel Marches and Governor of Bamburgh castle.
His daughter Julian married Francis Russell son of the second Earl of Bedford and one of the earliest baronetcies was conferred on his grandson Claudius in 1619 who died without issue. His brother John obtained the grant of Bamburgh castle forfeited by Thomas Forster whose adherence to the cause of the Stuarts induced him to join the rebellion of 1715.
Etherston (Adderstone) still continues as the family seat.
In a subsequent Document received from Patrick de Meulemeester in early June 2021, he added:
