MORRIS Edward Blacksmith 1861: Edward Morris. 5th Jan 1861 Hampshire Telegraph: a fine young fellow of the age of 21 , was unfortunately killed the day before by a companion, named Edward MORRIS, blacksmith residing in the village. It appeared by the evidence that the latter, having some errand to convey to Lake, another village adjoining, the deceased offered to accompany him. Morris having loaded his gun for the purpose of shooting small birds along the road, but meeting with no success in that line, he entered a field on their return home, but seeing no birds within reach he returned to the lane where he had left Matthews, and in making his way through the hurdle, the dock of the gun by some means became entangled therein. The piece went off and the whole of the charge was lodged in the neck and face of the deceased, who fell on the ground and never spoke or moved afterwards, several of the shots having entered the eyes and mouth. Medical aid was in vain, as the poor fellow only survived a half hour . Verdict accidental death. I have no email contact for this information.
