James Forshaw

[Ladyhawk]

I have got the copy of the parish register its the census for this guy which is confusing he's on the 1851 census with his mother Elizabeth in Liverpool aged 5. 

Is this the 1851 census you have?

1851c HO107; Piece: 2185; Folio: 188; Page: 68
Elizabeth FORSHAW widow 20 (age looks to be 30)
JOHN age 5 Liverpool
Mary EVANS 19 visitor

This looks to be John’s birth entry from GRO indexes with mmn EVANS
John FORSHAW 1846  M Quarter in LIVERPOOL  Volume 20  Page 358   

and possible marriage entry for his parents

Jun 1841 Liverpool
Robert FORSHAW
Female name on same page
Elizabeth EVANS

John's marriage to Mary Potter names his father as Robert Forshaw

Added - 1841 marriage details of RF to EE

Mary Jane Forshaw born 1 May 1832
Father:   Charles Forshaw occ Grocer Mother: Sarah

I wonder if Charles Forshaw was Robert's brother?

From the 1841 marriage entry on family search for Robert to Elizabeth Evans
his father named as James Forshaw but no age given for Robert

When did Elizabeth's husband Robert Forshaw die? Do you know his age?

There's this 1806 bp. for a
Charles Forshaw parents Jas & Jane https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NV1P-JVV

the only John FORSHAW’s born c 1845 Liverpool I can find on the 1871 census are as follows

RG10; Piece: 4201; Folio: 112; Page: 8
John FORSHAW single age 27 born Much Hoole Lancashire occ servant

RG10; Piece: 3778; Folio: 21; Page: 36
John FORSHAW married age 25 born Liverpool brother in law wife Mary occ Fisherman
Head Ann Bragger

Sorry I can’t find one with occupation Marble Polisher as per his 1872 marriage 

Marriage for the above John Forshaw -

Mary Thompson
[Mary Bragger]
Age - 31
Marriage - 26 Jan 1870, Saint Mary, Edge Hill, Lancashire
Father - John Bragger
Spouse - John Goodwin Forshaw

So it would appear that the above 1871 can be discounted.

Quite a mystery this one
