The son of the Royal Navy commander Elliot Morres, he was born at Reading in April 1831. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Trinity College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University on three occasions, playing once against Cambridge University in The University Match of 1850, and twice against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1850 and 1851.[3] He scored 23 runs in his three matches, in addition to taking seven wickets.[4][5]

He was a student of Lincoln's Inn, but was never called to the bar.[1] Instead, he served in the British Army, being commissioned as an ensign in the Royal Berkshire Militia in January 1855.[6][7] In May of the same year, he transferred to the 47th Regiment in the Regular Army and was promoted to lieutenant in September 1855.[8] Morres died at Bath in November 1895. His brother, Thomas, was also a first-class cricketer.
