[Bell Historians] Lincoln College

[Anne Willis]

So far I have the following information about Rev. John Eccles:

Ordination as Deacon at Christchurch Oxford 22/05/1785
BA Oxford 03/06/1787 (Fellow of Lincoln College)
Ordination as priest at Christchurch Oxford 03/06/1787

The Athenaeum 1807:
'At Streatley [Berkshire], aged 45, the Rev. John Eccles, B.D. senior Fellow
of Lincoln College, Oxford, whose open manners, generous disposition, and
friendly kindness, will leave a lasting regret upon the minds of all with
whom he was acquqnted.'

The Gentleman's magazine, Volume 101 (1807), Obituary:
` Rev. John Eccles, fub-rector, fenior fellow and tutor of Lincoln coilege.'
(Obviously replace the leading F's with S's as is normal.)

I know there is a Rev. John Eccles on the 1770 Matthew Bagley 4th at Stoke
Bruerne. In North's CBO Northampton he states:
`The Rev. John Eccles was instituted 15th October. 1759: he was 
buried here 26th December, 1789` But this is too early to be the same
individual.

There is also a Rev. John Eccles listed in the 1802 Catholic Register of
Baptisms at Danby upon Yure, parish of Thornton Steward, Yorkshire.

I had a look at the clergy database (www.theclergydatabase.org.uk
<http://www.theclergydatabase.org.uk/>  ) and there are two John Eccles.
One who seems to be the John Eccles you mention.  There is also an earlier
one of Brasenose who was ordained in September 1748, who could be the John
Eccles of Stoke Bruerne.
