He was born on 18 December 1820 at Fishleigh〔Per White-Thomson; However, Lysons, Magna Britannia, vol.6 (1822) states that "Fishley" in Hatherleigh then belonged to Mr Drake of Launceston〕 in the parish of Hatherleigh in Devon, the eldest of four sons of William Cholmeley Morris of Fishleigh and Inwardleigh, and brother of five sisters. His mother was Jane Veale, daughter of James Veale (who following an inheritance had changed his name by deed-poll from "Mallet"). His youngest brother was Col. Montague Cholmeley Morris, formerly a lieutenant in the 75th Regiment, who served during the Indian Mutiny.〔 His grandfather was the wealthy Barbados estate owner William Morris (d.1796)〔Codicil to will of William Morris (will prioved 1796) of Barbados: "Whereas since the making of the foregoing will and testament I have had two children born, that is to say a son born on the twelfth day of August one thousand seven hundred and ninety three who has been baptised by the name of William Cholmeley..."〕 of Bridgetown, Barbados, whose second wife was Mary Judith Cholmeley,〔http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=janeausten&id=I3321; Referred to in his will as "Mary Judith Morris my present dear wife"〕 a daughter of Robert Cholmeley (d.1754) of Barbados, a younger son of James Cholmeley (d.1735) of Easton, Lincolnshire. Another of Robert Cholmeley's daughters was Katharine Cholmeley (1739-1847), the wife of William Spry (d.1772), Governor of Barbados. Another sister was Jane Cholmeley, who married James Leigh-Perrot (d.1751), the uncle of Jane Austen (1775-1817) the novelist.〔http://austenonly.com/2009/11/28/jane-austens-particular-places-easton-lincolnshire/〕 The will of William Morris of Barbados mentions his Devon estates in the parishes of Inwardleigh, Hatherleigh and Northlew, valued at £12,000.,〔Will, p.6〕 and his manors or lordships of Inwardleigh, Gorhuish and Cleeve.〔Will, p.8 & 10; See also Lysons, Magna Britannia, Manor of Inwardleigh: "about 1771 it passed, by sale, from Champion to Morris, and is now the property of W. C. Morris, Esq., who is possessed also of the manor of Cleeve, and part of that of Gorhuish in this parish". From: 'Parishes: Ide - Jacobstow', Magna Britannia: volume 6: Devonshire (1822), pp. 287-295 ()〕 One of the trustees appointed by his will was Montague Cholmeley, his wife's cousin, (and father of Sir Montague Cholmeley, 1st Baronet (1772-1831) of Easton Hall, Lincolnshire) who was directed to purchase more Devon lands with the proceeds of his Barbados estates.〔page 7, Will of William Morris of Bridge Town Island of Barbados , West Indies, proved 18 April 1796, National Archives, Kew, PROB 11/1274/95 ()〕 William Morris desired in his will to be buried next to the remains of his first wife in "Morris's Chapel" in Westminster Abbey.〔Will, p.1〕
