Any help would be very welcome.

Thank you so much for your interest and the useful information. I too had looked at the marriage to Ann Gray and also decided that there were a number of Johns that could fit.
I think all that I need is Joseph's Mothers name but I am not sure how to proceed.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to try to find this.
if you look on the wiltshire family history society members interest page there are quite a few people researching the name morse in wiltshire. if you contact them they may be able to help or give you pointrs. the society also sells cds of baptisms, marriges incertain parishes etc.
