Looking at the Gloucestershire BMD site there are 2 possible birth registrations for Mary Ann Marshall as follows:
Child Surname Child Forename Father Surname Mother Surname Mother's Former Name Year District Office Register Entry
MARSHALL Mary Ann MARSHALL MARSHALL JOYNES 1858 Forest of Dean Monmouth, Coleford 14 145
MARSHALL Mary Ann MARSHALL MARSHALL WARD 1861 Forest of Dean Monmouth, Coleford 17 3

I can only find this Marshall/Joynes marriage :
Marriages Jun 1841
Joynes Mary Ann Bradfield 6 231
MARSHALL William Bradfield 6 231

and we have this one for Marshall and Ward which seems to be a good fit:

However when we examine the Census returns we find that Mary Ann daughter of James and Elizabeth is not with them in the 1871 Census and I suspect she died. Here is a possible burial:

So turning to Mary Ann daughter of William and Mary Anne we find the following:
1861 Census:

This family was living at Eastbach Cottage which is very near English Bicknor.
