Here is what I know.

Caleb was baptised 11/7/1827 his father was Thomas, a carpenter. Mother Mary

He married Eliza Dalley in 1852, Tenby. They had 5 chidren Anna Maria 1853, Alfred James, 1855, Eliza Jane 1859, Mary Ann and Emma Florence.

Caleb married again 23/5/1885 to Ellen Bassett in Dawlish

He died 26/7/1910

For, the life of me I cannot find any record of the family in 1861 nor anything about his parents. Can you help please

This might be Eliza Jane wrongly linked to different parents.

Above her on the image is Alfred MORRIS age 4 both born Tenby
Alfred is at the top of a page.

Name: Eliza J Morris
Age: 1
Estimated birth year: abt 1860
Relation: Daughter
Father's name: John Cook
Mother's name: Mary Cook
Gender: Female
Where born: Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales

Viewing the actual schedule, there seems to be many missing numbers between the previous page and that of the MORRIS children so I don't think they are the same household as the COOK family and for some reason Caleb and family are missing.

08 August 1866 - Potter's Electric News - Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire

Tenby
Caleb Morris was charged by Martha Dally with an assault. Case dismissed.

Of the four possible marriages I posted above, the Begelly one, to Mary Gunter, seems most likely, geographically.

Can't see her baptism, though.

Below query comes up on google search...

Morris Family of St Florence - (St Florence - Pembrokeshire)
I am looking for details of my g-g-grandfather Caleb Morris (b1827) who lived in Hall House with his 3 brothers George (b1821),Charles (b1821) and Thomas (b1814)and also with their widowed mother Mary (b1784). All this I have found from the 1841 census but I don't know the name of the late father - can anyone help with this? Caleb became a blacksmith in Tenby. I believe his mother may have been born in Carew. One of Caleb's brothers may have been Innkeeper at the Rising Sun Inn, which I understand is still thriving in St Florence today.


(in case below should say 1886, to go with Death posted above)

County Pembrokeshire
Place St Florence
Church name St Florencius
Register type Parish Register
Burial date 28 Oct 1868
Burial person forename Mary
Burial person surname MORRIS
Person age 36

https://www.freereg.org.uk/

(looking at Burial image FMP, would say 86, there is an entry further on page for a 35 yr old, and 3 written differently)
