Morse (General)
Hello, new to this site and this is my first post!!! Researching my family name of Morse who i believe originated in the Forest of Dean, unless told different, on the census of 1901 James T Morse (44) and wife Ellen Morse (38) had 12 children being George,Frederick,Thomas,Ernest,Harry,James,John,Elizabeth,Amelia,Florence,Ellen and Martha.
My Grandfather would have been John Morse born approx 1900 and died approx 1957, my father is Peter George Morse.
I am led to beleive James T Morse resided in Chedworth, any one out ther who may be connected get in touch or fill in the gaps....
Regards
David John Morse

Up North where? Our connection is to the Herberts and Phelps and many others who moved "Up North", in our case Yorkshire. We have connections to many of the Forest families. Willing to share information if required. Regards Jean Herbert

FreeBDM - have a marriage Northleach District (which covers Chedworth) - Dec 1851 (1 November 1851 - Chedworth - CLDS)
John MORSE & Elizabeth MOSS - this certificate, would give you the name of John's father.
Chedworth St Andrew Marriages 1837-1851 are on the 'net' but stops in March 1851
http://members.shaw.ca/panthers1/ChedworthStAndrewsMarr.html
but there is a marriage of a Cornelius KEEN to a Mary Ann MORSE, father John MORSE, labourer, in 1848. No MORSE in Chedworth 1851 census.

Mary Ann KEEN - 60 - born Glos. Easington
Cornalus KEEN - 20 - born Chedworth

John MORSE - Wotton Under Edge
by m p griffiths , Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 22:23 (5244 days ago) @ m p griffiths
there is just one MORSE baptism at Wootton Under Edge
John MORSE - 10 April 1831, father John (clothworker) and Elizabeth
and one MORSE marriage at WUE (on FOD Misc Records)
John MORSE married Elizabeth EDWARDS - at WUE - 19 April 1830
poss?
Elizabeth EDWARDS - christened WUE - 24 May 1807 - Geo & Lattitia
George EDWARDS - married WUE Lattitia LACEY - 11 May 1806
Wotton Under Edge is not too many miles from the Wiltshire border. 9 other people on 1851 census, say they were born in Wiltshire, WUE, 5 people in 1861 - 18 people in 1871. Therefore your John MORSE could be the WUE birth in 1831.
