William was born in Yorkley Slade, Gloucestershire, England, in 1897.[1] He was the son of William Morse and Lucy James, and one of ten children. He was enumerated in the 1901 [2] and 1911 census [3] residing with his family. In 1911, as a fourteen year old, he stated his occupation as "Collier Belt Boy Above Ground".

William married Caroline Smith in 1924.[4] The marriage was registered in the third quarter in Westbury on Severn, Gloucestershire. It is unknown if the couple had children.

Although no death registration was found, family records indicate William passed away in 1967 (location unknown).
