Hello Mike, Have you looked at the 18th/19th-century newspaper reports? I have access to these, if you think they might be of interest. For instance, the following eight occur during the early 19th-century, not that they are all that informative: Ipswich Journal, 30 March 1811 - Ipswich March 30. Sailed, Unity, Morson, for Rochester, with corn. Royal Cornish Gazette, 4 April 1812 - Penzance. Sailed. Unity, Morson, for Rochester. The Bury and Norwich Post, 26 November 1817 - Wisbech, Nov. 24. Sailed. Unity, Morson. The Bury and Norwich Post, 23 December 1818 - Lynn, Dec. 21. Arrived. Unity, Morson, from Newcastle, with pease. The Bury and Norwich Post, 8 December 1819 - Wisbech, Dec. 6. Sailed. Unity, Morson, for London. The Bury and Norwich Post, 15 October 1823 - Yarmouth, Oct. 13. Arrived. Unity, Morson, from Colchester, with stones. The Bury and Norwich Post, 21 January 1824 - Yarmouth, Jan. 19. Unity. Morson, from Poole, with pipe-clay. The Bury and Norwich Post, 28 January 1824 - Yarmouth, Jan. 26. Sailed. Unity, Morson. Let me know if you think those from the 18th-century might be of interest, although perhaps you already have them?

I have come across various records of a George Morson being the Captain of a SLOOP called the "UNITY" between 1793-1826 operating between various south of England Ports including Rochester,Dover, & London in "Lloyds List Marine News 1740-1837" index. Could any reader offer suggestions as to any other records i could look at in my research.
