Records indicate Thomas, the son of William Morris and his wife Sarah (nee Perry), was baptized in the Parish Church at Marston Sicca, Gloucestershire on the 26^th July, 1685¹.  It is not known what occupation Thomas followed, but it is assumed he was an Agricultural worker of some kind.

It looks as if Thomas's family, or Thomas, himself moved to Dorsington at some stage as he married Elizabeth Mealinge (nee Snedwell) on the 5^th December, 1713 in the Dorsington Parish Church².  Dorsington is approximately 3km north-north-east of Marston Sicca.

Records indicate Thomas & Elizabeth had two children: Sarah 1717-1767, she married John Wesson 1742; and Samuel 1723, both baptized in Dorsington¹.

Marston Sicca, Pebworth and Dorsington were all part of a larger Rural District of Gloucestershire, so it is most likely the families of Thomas and Elizabeth were agricultural workers of some kind and possibly moved around following work.  In 1931 this rural district was transferred to the Stratford-on-Avon District of Warwickshire.

Elizabeth died at the age of 57, and was buried in the Parish Churchyard on the 5^th November, 1733³.

On the 10^th January, 1741 Thomas was buried in the Parish Churchyard³, he was 56years old.
