Notes for Rev Dr Thomas Morres D.D.
In the baptism of their son Robert, he was said to be D.D - Doctor of Divinity I presume. In Alumni Oxonienses for Robert he was said to be a doctor which is not quite the same thing. Sounds like a misunderstanding.

Buried at Hinckley on 14, 16 and 24 Mar 1761:
Transcription:
First name(s) Thomas
Last name Morres
Age 47
Birth year 1714
Death year 1761
Burial place Hinckley, St Mary's
Denomination Anglican
County Leicestershire
Country England
Event type Parish Registers
Archive Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland
Archive reference DE1135/24
Record set Leicestershire Burials
But the actual register has this entry:
Buried 1761
...
March 14 Thos Morres Dr.D. & Chaplain to ye Princess Dowager of Wales
And in the list of rectors at the end of a later burial register book:
Thomas Morres, D.D. 1752. died March 16 1761, aged 47
So it looks like he was buried around 15 Mar 1761.
I think the 9 Jul 1761 date in CCED is that on which the death was notified to the bishop and led to the appointment to the next vicar.
