I am looking for anything on Mariner Abraham Murcott. According to his will he went down on HMS The Namure in November 1703 during the great storm. All lives were lost. I would like to know who his parents were and when was he born. I can't find anything on The Namur being lost at sea in 1703. I would appreciate any help. Kind regards XXXXX XXXXX Australia. Norma Tonks , 2xGGrandaughter of Mary Murcott married to John Webb.
Optional Information: What have you tried so far?: I have read The History of Cubbington and The Great Storm and posted lots of enquiries on web sites. I obtained a copy of his will from National Archives and done some checking onnAncestry.com.
Hello, Norma,Thanks for using Just Answer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX X will do whatever I can to answer your question. I
will see what birth records are available online for that part of Warwickshire.
Best regards,

Thank you.
You're welcome. It will be tomorrow before I am finished searching. You will get another email similar to this one when the work is finished. No response is necessary to this message.
Good evening!
Hello,
Welcome back to the unique experience that is JustAnswer. Please note that my function is to give you honest information based on such online records as are available, and not to tell you what you necessarily wish to hear. We also cannot provide information from records that do not exist online.
In addition to what you may have seen on ancestry.com. there was an Abraham Murcott baptised 14 Sep 1662 in Cubbington, Warwickshire, son of John and Joane Croft Murcott. A couple with the same given names had a son Nathaniel baptised 27 Dec 1667 in Plymouth, Devonshire. There is no mention of what John Murcott did for a living in either record.
Research of events this early usually requires working on site since for the most part early records are not online. Even when there are existent records, sufficient information is not included in the parish records to establish direct relationships. That is the case here.
