Timeline

1770 - Married Mourier, Peter Poul Ferdinand in Copenhagen (Elvius & Hiort-Lorenzen, 1891, p. 197)

1770 - Travelled with his wife and her maid to China.(?) (Larsen Ostindiske Personalia). Possibly this is in fact referring to her travelling to China in 1772? Considering the couple was only married in November 1770, it seems very unlikely that she could have gone to China so late in the year.

1772 - A Madame Mourier travels to Canton, China on the Asiatic Company ship PRINTZ FRIEDRICH, where Mouritzen, Morten Engelbrecht was 1st supercargo. Alongside Madame Mourier was also a Madame Berner, possibly the wife of fellow passenger Berner, Jørgen. He is detailed to have been from Bengal, and as overkøbmand (on another vessel? Or in Frederiksnagore?) (DNA, Rullebog, 1766-1775, no. 648-649).

1780 - 3 November. Gave birth to her third child, a daughter, on board the Asiatic Company ship, JULIANE MARIE, about halfway between Canton and Copenhagen. (Hauch-Fausbøll 1918:138)
