Do you have any idea where he came from? If you know of his decendants where were they born?

Are you sure he was aboard The Namur?

I am looking for information on Mariner Abraham Murcott who lost his life during the Great Storm on 1703. He was aboard The Namur and all lives were lost. I would appreciate any information about him especially his parents names. Kind regards, Norma in Australia.
