Edward and Elizabeth
The information that I have indicates that their first child (William) was born in England in 1812, before they emigrated to Canada – which was probably about 1817. Although there is some indication that either Edward or Elizabeth came from the Birmingham area, there was a child of an Edward Morris and Elizabeth (surname unknown) born in the Cuddesdon, Oxford area, so I am showing Edwards birthplace as possibly being also in that area. The next child born was Martha in 1819 in Canada. I believe that they had seven children in total.
Children:
- William Morris
- Martha Morris
- John Morris
- Joseph Morris
- Amelia Morris
- Mary Morris
- Edward Morris
Edward and his wife Elizabeth settled near Caledon, Ontario and remained in the area for the rest of their lives.
