Whoops wizard 28 - Morris is the Surname. Christian name was Thomas. He married Catherine Evans on 11 Nov 1836 in Llanelli (St Elli Parish Church). Do not know his place of birth. He and Catherine apparently had 6 children in Wales before sailing to Adelaide in Sth Australia but I have not been able to confirm their names or dates of birth as the children's names were not listed on the passenger shipping list.
