I found your Lewis MORRIS in the 1851 Census but he's a servant on a farm in Meifod.

If you have an LDS (Mormon) Family History Centre in your area, you can order the
Bishop's Transcripts for the parish of Llansantffraid and look for Lewis' baptism
entry and, hopefully, track the family back -- since his parents were born born in the
same parish, you should be able to locate their marriage and their baptisms, as well (LDS
Film #0104810). The film ends at 1844 so you won't be able to find the burials of the
parents on that particular film.

Subject: Parents of Lewis Morris
Hi all
Can anyone help me to trace any records relating to the parents of a Lewis Morris. I
have found him on the 1881 census records living at the Wern, Llanstffraid ( I believe
this is the same as Llansaintffraid). The census records show him as the head of the
household and married to a Mary. It also shows his birth as Llanstffraid in 1833.
Unfortunately this is as far back as I can go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Chas.
