Thanks Keith, I would point to the East India Co - folk in Aberdeenshire may not been familiar with the geography or the spelling. A google of Pischurr comes up with the name but not much else.'

It has been assumed before, that Pischurr is a corruption of Peshawar which is in India and that the indication of "East Indies" is therefore in error. India was intended. Suppose there really was a place called Pischurr in Indonesia? I wonder if it is worth a search?
