Morris Davies
Morris Davies,, was a Welsh poet from the Dolgellau area of mid Wales. As a young man he worked as an apprentice to a carpenter and later worked in some of the larger houses in the area, such as Dolserau, Nannau, Hengwrt and Caerynwch.
He had developed an interest in poetry at a young age, and was possibly quite influenced by his meeting with Thomas Edwards at the age of 13. In 1853 he began publishing his own work on various subjects, often dealing with local occurrences: Diliau Meirion – followed in 1854 by a second part ; Hanes Teithiau a Helyntion Meurig Ebrill gyda 'Diliau Meirion’ o Ddolgellau i Gaerlleon-Gawr, Birkenhead, Llynlleifiad, a Manceinion, a'i Ddychweliad yn ol Drwy Siroedd a Threfydd Gogledd Cymru yn 1854–55.
He died in September 1861.
