Birth*

Edward FORWARD was born in 1700 at Mere, Wiltshire, England; There were many boys and men called Edward FORWARD in Mere. This one is allocated as the husband of Edith TRIMBY as his age most closely matches that of expected age at first marriage.

These burials provided no further identifying information (except the first, which said "alms"):
20 Oct 1697 Edward FORWARD Wilts Mere, St Michael
6 Apr 1715 Edward FORWARD Wilts Mere, St Michael
4 Sep 1717 Edward FORWARD Wilts Mere, St Michael
The following was the son of Edward:
20 Jan 1720 Edward FORWARD Wilts Mere, St Michael
So there is no definite proof that we have the right Edward FORWARD, but the age matches closely.

He was baptised on 6 December 1700 at Mere, Wiltshire, England.¹

Marriage*

He married Sarah ALLWOOD on 8 April 1777 at St Michael's, Mere, Wiltshire, England. By licence. Botp. Wit: Thomas COWLEY, Jane BECKETT.²

Marriage License

Giles FORWARD and Sarah ALLWOOD obtained a marriage license on 6 April 1777 at Mere, Wiltshire, England.³

Note*

Other information; It's possible that "Giles FORWARD, Linenweaver of Mere", may refer to another man of the same name, but he is the only one with that occupation and location. His son would only have been aged 16 yrs at the birth of Sarah BURFITT and so is less likely to be the father of that illegitimate child.

There is a burial in Mere, with NFI, of Giles FORWARD on 18 Apr 1791. If it was this man, then clearly he could not have fathered a child in 1796.
