I am just returning to the forum after a long break, and your post caught my eye.
After reading this forum string, I have added your family's details to my ancestry tree and began searching for your family.
The 1861 Census Thomas Morris is living in Elson street, Liverpool. Thomas Morris, Widowed, aged 50 , Joiner.
Living with him is Thomas Jnr, 17 yrs. a Joiner, also Mary aged 7yrs.
I Note that many of the other people listed on this census pages are shipping and dock workers. So that lead me to wonder whether he was a Ships Joiner,
With that in mind I went searching further census records.The following could be the son, Thomas Jnr.
Thomas Morris on the 1871 census, living in Cookson street, St Marks, Liverpool. Listed as a boarder, aged 28yrs, unmarried, occupation a Shipwright.

I also looked into Anton Fredrikson (note the spelling in the signature on the marriage certificate), it would appear that the surname Fredrikson is spelled in various ways on the records that I found. It seems that his death was quite tragic, and found the following article about the "Atlantic's" fate that I thought might interest you. https://www.halifaxtoday.ca/remember-th ... 73-1331345
With regards to Mary Morris' mothers name, I am still looking for you.
Hopefully some other clue with show up soon.
