I am afraid I am a newbie as far as India is concerned. However I am researching the Morrison family and two pieces of information lead me to believe Richard Morrison may have been involved at some time in India. I do not have a birth date for Richard but from the information I do have think it may well be about 1710. He married a Sarah ( born abt 1732 died 1802) and they had 3 children between 1759 and 1762 all born in Middlesex and all alive when he died.
Richard died in 1780 in Edmonton Middlesex and according to "The History and Antiquities of Edmonton" his tomb in the churchyard is to Captain Richard Morrison. However in his will he leaves a diamond ring which "was presented to him by the Nabob of Arcot". He does not appear on any Army or Navy list so possibly he was with the East India Company. I have looked at the FIBIS datasets but to no avail.
If anyone can advise me as to what steps I should take to investigate further I would appreciate it.
