I think that is him JImmy
he puts Cradley Heath on census does Samuel but in 1871 he is living in Cradley Heath if Joseph is his father and Eliza his mother

1871 Darbys Colliery Rowley Regis ecclesiastical district Redall Hill

Samuel Forrest son 21 chainmaker
Phebe Forrest dau 17 chainmaker

Have added those 2 marriages in for Samuel and possible father Joseph
