The Runciman Line / Moor Line

[buffy]

I am researching my husband's family tree and know that his paternal grandfather joined the Merchant Service between 1881 and 1891 aboard the Runciman Line or Moor Line. Unfortunately, I do not know which vessles he served upon or where he sailed. I do know that Sir Walter Runciman assisted in his obtaining a post as river pilot at Blyth, Northumberland prior to 1910.

Can anyone help me to find any records that may still exist?
