Hi Annette
Have just checked the following indexes:
1871 Bedwellty registration district tredegar sub-district - no Peter
Morris at all; James Morris of 30 in Rhymney (piece 5328 folio 38
page 32) or James Morris of 21 in Rhymney (piece 5327 folio 58
page 31) or James Morris of 7 in Tredegar (piece 5319 folio 17
page 28)
1861 Bedwellty registration district Tredegar Sub-district
no Peter Morris at all and no possible James Morris
Sorry I didn't find him but at least you know where he isn't!

Having been so grateful to Kate who helped me find my George
Jones
last week, I hope you won't think me greedy if I ask whether anyone
can help me with my Morrises this week!
My great great grandfather on the other side was a James Morris
who
lived in Bedwellty and was a carpenter and undertaker from 1881 to
his
death in 1896.
I have recently found that James' father was one Peter Morris, who
was
in the Workhouse at Bedwellty (no surviving records cover the
period)
from 1881 through 1891. I don't know his wife's name because he
was a
widower then, but I haven't yet found him in 1871.
Could anyone with an index see if he can be located in 1871 or
1861 in
Monmouthshire? He was 75 in 1891 and 65 in 1881 so there's a
good
chance he will be aged around 55 and 45 in the two earlier
Censuses
:-). If he could be found with any of his family I will be delighted
to follow it up!
I would value any help given.
