Hi Lesley,

This will be more difficult as its pre registration but I will scout around the IGI see if I can find anything.

[lesleyneland]

...i found Thomas MORRIS, b. 1816, Sarah and their children on the IGI...

...she was Sarah PADDOCK, m. 1836, Saint Alkmund, Shrewsbury

...Thomas's parents were William and Martha nee EDWARDS, m. 1804 there is a sister Jane b. 1804

...there are probably other siblings between 1804 and 1816 but didn't see any others as yet...

...Alice MORRIS was born September 1874 in St. Alkmond, Shrewsbury, at her aunt's house...mother was Ann MORRIS...no father listed...right after Alice's birth Ann went home to 19, Forton, near Montford Bridge, where she registered the birth...

...Ann appears on the 1881 married to Joseph LAIGHT, and Alice is listed as a niece...

...would there be information about the father in the parish records...other family members were christened at St. Chad, Montford?

I doubt it Lesley, they are usually just the same as the birth certificate but  it may be  worth a look.

Maybe post on the Shropshire board here someone may have access to them  if not try this, apologies if I have given you this before.
