Absolutely any sort of info would do. Dates of death, marriage, their ancestry... anything would come in handy. I once saw the census entries which more or less gave me their years of birth and so on but it was all quite limited. I'd love to know if they had any further descendants or where they came from. Thanks for any info you can forward me!

Samuel dies in May 1897 - aged 73 he was a carpenter
Ellen dies in January 1912 - aged 86. In 1901 she is living with son Richard in Eardisland
Another son Thomas born in 1853 lived for just over a year
A Samuel Morris marries Anne Derry in Kimbolton in August 1813 but there is a marriage between a Samuel Morris and Anne Cartwright in Kington also in 1813 - would you think this is more likely as the name Cartwright turns up as a middle name for Samuel 
Samuel snr [aged 61] and Ann [aged 63] were in Kinnersley with daughter Mary [aged 30] and Catherine aged 1 in 1851. She appears to be the daughter of Samuel and Ellen [Maund] while baby Samuel aged 1 month is at home with Samuel and Ellen in Norton Canon

Spidermonkey - I found Samuel down as a Carpenter and Ellen as a Carpenter's Wife on the 1881 Cenus, and Richard Thomas the son as a Labourer

Thanks Puffcat, the marriage info about Samuel marrying the Derry/Cartwright comes as a sort of surprise... I'll have to check that one out and I'll post any news. Do you have any idea where Ellen Morris died in 1912? Is anyone here related to them, by the way? Where was baby Thomas born/died?
Thanks a lot!

So that would confirm that it is NOT Ann Derry whom Samuel married, but Ann Cartwright... which would of course be logical since their son was called Samuel Cartwright Morris... Interesting and at the same time rather disrupting - I had made my family tree through the Derries and this sort of makes it all meaningless now...
