George Aston Morris

[Craig1947]

Could someone please help, I am trying to locate the birth/baptism and names of parents of my Ggrandfather George Aston Morris. On all the records I have been able to locate he was born in Ludlow, Shropshire. On his death certificate his age is given as 74 years in 1874 that makes the date of birth 1800, On the 1841 census he is aged 41, on the 1851 Census he is 46, on the 1861 census he is 56 on the 1871 census he is 62 and 74 in 1874 when he died. I have found no marriages for the two wives he had so no help there. His date of birth could be somewhere between 1800 and 1810 I think.
On the 1841 and 1851 Census he is in Wooler Northumberland, (3 Sons born here) on the 1861 and 1871 census he is in Gateshead, Durham (seven more children born here)
Any help would be most appreciated, I live in Australia. Craig
