Benjamin Samuel Morse was born in about 1854 in Bradenstoke Lyncham, Wiltshire, son of John Morse (1790–1864) and Elizabeth Watts (1814–1882).The 1881 census has him trading as a watchmaker at High Street, Pinner, Middlesex Benjamin S. Morse (27) Watch & Clock Maker, wife Fanny (31), John S. (3), Fanny E. (2) plus Charles E. Haylock (22) assistant watchmaker and Mary Johns (20) general servant.

In the 1891 census the family had moved to 8 Queens Road, Watford, which later passed to his grand-daughter and became Jackson's Jewellers, which is still run by B.S. Morse's decendants to the current day in central Watford.

Here he has bought in a movement from Charles Edwin Price, listed as a clockmaker in Goswell Road, London in 1882.
