Father* Edward FORWARD b. 1700
Mother* Edith TRIMBY b. c 1703

Birth*1728Ann FORWARD was born in 1728 at Mere, Wiltshire, England; There are four candidates in Mere:
23 Oct 1726 William
27 Jan 1728 Edward
25 Apr 1730 William
2 Sep 1732 James

The NBI and Mere Burials have the following burial for Ann FORWARD in Mere (one of the few places the surname exists):
28 Apr 1731 d/o William
12 Apr 1734 w/o William

If we eliminate the 1726 Ann on the grounds that her father had another child of that name later, then eliminate the 1730 Ann on the grounds that she was buried in 1731, that leaves the most likely candidates to be the daughters of Edward and James. As a birth year of 1728 exactly matches her age at death, she has been allocated as the d/o Edward. 
She was the daughter of Edward FORWARD and Edith TRIMBY. 
Baptism27 January 1728Ann FORWARD was baptised on 27 January 1728 at Mere, Wiltshire, England.1 
Marriage*4 February 1752She married William EDWARDS, son of Robert EDWARDS and Sarah VINEY, on 4 February 1752 at St Michael's, Mere, Wiltshire, England. Groom of Stourton; bride of Mere.2 
Marriage*10 October 1762Ann FORWARD married John EVIL, son of Charles EVIL and Dorothy BARNES, on 10 October 1762 at St Peter's, Stourton, Wiltshire, England. Widower. Widow.3 
Death*1812Ann FORWARD died in 1812 at Stourton, Wiltshire, England. 
Burial*23 February 1812She was buried on 23 February 1812 at Stourton, Wiltshire, England; Aged 84 years. 
Note*Other information; Widow at marriage to John EVIL. There are three candidates for the Ann EVIL, aged 84 years, buried in 1812. This seems the best fit. First husband possibilities: Edward EDWARDS 'of ye workhouse' who was buried on 31 Oct 1761; George EDWARDS 'of Top Lane' buried on 3 May 1759; William EDWARDS 'of Black Slough' buried 1 May 1757; and George EDWARDS 'of Stourton Lane' buried on 11 Feb 1757. There are presently no marriages, or baptisms of children, that fit. Allocation of Ann as the widow of William is based on baptism and burial records - there were no women named Ann EDWARDS having children baptised between 1757 (when William died) and 1762 (when Ann re-married). 
Married NameHer married name was EDWARDS. 
Married NameHer married name was EVIL.

Father* Edward FORWARD b. c 1670

Birth*1700Edward 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 the son of Edward FORWARD.

Marriage*8 April 1777He married Sarah ALLWOOD on 8 April 1777 at St Michael's, Mere, Wiltshire, England. By licence. Botp. Wit: Thomas COWLEY, Jane BECKETT.2 
Marriage License6 April 1777Giles 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. 
Occupation*Giles FORWARD was a Lindman; Linenweaver. 
Residence*He lived at Woolverton. 
Legal Case*10 January 1769He was New Tag either a witness or a victim. Parish of Woolverton. on 10 January 1769.4

Birth*1783Hannah FORWARD was born in 1783 at Mere, Wiltshire, England; there were two people named Hannah FORWARD baptised in this time period. In the absence of precise ages, I have allocated the one born in 1780 as the one who married in1803, on the grounds that she was younger. The one born in 1783 is allocated as the one who married in 1804. This is very flimsy and may need review.
