No, I have nothing else. The Morrices originally came from Aberdeen before this branch emigrated to Jamaica in the late 18th century. David Morrice had his family home in north London when he returned to England. Could possibly be a connection there but I don't know of it.

Best of luck,

Keith

OK, thanks - I just wondered - and if you don't ask the question then you don't get an answer!  ;)

I've just come across this and what I have to add may not be of direct interest to you.

David Morrice was my great great grandfather and I have quite a lot of information about him. He was Master of the Annie Archbell and sank it in the North Sea. He survived and became Master of the Pampero. I have crewlists/logs for this ships two voyages in 1868/9. All hands were lost in 1869 on the way from New Zealand to Shanghai. He was also Master of the Walter Morrice and I have details of voyages to Australia carrying immigrants n the late 1840s.

How cool to find a relative of the real 'David Morrice'!! While I really am only interested in the ship bearing his name as my 4 x great grandfather was the master of it in the 1830's, it is always nice to hear from people interested in shipping...I descend from a fair few Ship's Captains...got salt in my veins too I reckon  ;)
