Notes for Rev Arthur Philip Morres
He sounds as if he must be a son of Thomas Morres, rector of Wokingham, Berks.  Something like the 1841 census should establish this.

It looks to me that he got the Britford job from his father-in-law.  I wonder what he was doing between marriage and the latter’s death in 1868?
