Christening

Prestonpans, East Lothian, Scotland
"Robert Runciman Gardner and Janet Sinclair had a Son born March 7th 1720 and baptized Thomas Apr: 10th Witnesses James Forrest sievewright and James Begbie weaver[6]

Note

It has been suggested that this Thomas is the Thomas born 1712 to George RUNCIMAN and Margrat SIMSONE of Perth.
The baptism entry for Thomas shows George as a baxter (aka a baker)
It seems unlikely that a baker's son from Perth would end up a servant in Innerwick. It also seems unlikely that what looks like George's will doesn't mention a son who was still alive[7]

Marriage

14 NOV 1746
Par. of Innerwick, East Lothian, Scotland
entry for Novr 14th reads: Thomas Runciman in Thornton & Alison Grieve in the parish of Auldhamstocks gave up their names to be proclaimed Caur for the bridegroom John Clawson & for the bride James Gowany (also indexed for 5th Nov in Oldhamstocks)[8][9][10][11]

Could this Thomas Runciman who married Alison Grieve in Innerwick, not be the child of James Runcyman and Agnes Ewart (Scotlands People.FR330). This would mean Thomas was born in Innerwick on the 27.2.1704, in the village he was married in. This would also make him older than Alison, which was more common in those days. James and Agnes also had a daughter Marian born 17.01.1701 in Innerwick, which is a name that runs through the family.
