Forster Baronets

Forster Baronets

There have been at least four Forster Baronetcies, including:

Forster of Bamburgh

The Baronetcy of Forster of Bamburgh ["The History and Antiquities of North Durham" (1852) Rev James Raine M.A., p. 306] was created in the Baronetage of England by James I for Claudius Forster of Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, on 7 March 1620.

The Forsters of Adderstone and Bamburgh, a long-established and prolific Northumbrian family, provided twelve successive Governors of Bamburgh Castle over a period of 400 years, but the family was ultimately ruined as a result of their part in the Jacobite rebellions in the 18th century.

*Sir Claudius Forster, 1st Baronet (c. 1575-1623) "Extinct on his death"

*Thomas Forster (1683-1738)

Forster of Aldermaston

The Baronetcy of Forster of Aldermaston was created in the Baronetage of England by James I for Humphrey Forster of Aldermaston Court, Berkshire on 20 May 1620.

The Forsters of Aldermaston descended from the Forsters of Harpsden in Oxfordshire and supposedly from the Forsters of Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland.

Forster of East Greenwich

The Baronetcy of Forster of East Greenwich ["Synopsis of the Extinct Baronetage of England" W.T. Calthorpe (1835) p. 80 Google Books] was created on 11 July 1661 in the Baronetage of England for Reginald Forster, a London goldsmith who served at the Court of Charles I. The 2nd Baronet married a Warwickshire heiress but died childless and the Baronetcy became extinct.
