Thank you so much for this further information. I do appreciate it. It's encouraging to be signposted to new leads, after so many years. I keep coming back to JMP periodically, while pursuing other sides of my family tree and my husband's. He has always been a tricky person to find out about, as the family know so little about him - my "brick wall". Still, a set of digitised records from the National Archives in Kew, London, not available in my earlier years of searching, revealed how his effects were disposed of after his death and that led to me finding the log of the "Quickstep", reporting on that specific voyage and JMP's final couple of weeks while confined with fever and sickness. It sounded although he was well-cared for in difficult circumstances by the Captain, another Norwegian. I live in hope that I will one day establish his birthplace and Norwegian family, as more and more records are digitised and released.

Thanks again.
