Our assistance is therefore somewhat limited as this family is not in the Forest of Dean but on the border of North Gloucestershire and Warwickshire.

You will sees that James Eden, father and who is described as a Tailor is missing after 1861 and it is possible that he died. Here is a death registration:

This would appear to be the marriage of James and Harriet:
Marriages Dec 1842
EDEN James Shipston on Stour 11 486
Webster Harriet Shipston on Stour 11 486

and this is Julia's birth registration:
