Biography

George Runciman was born on 26 September 1798 and was baptised on 17 October 1798 in Innerwick, Haddingtonshire, Scotland, son of Thomas Runciman (~1762 - >1841) and Jean Simpson (~1756 - ~1841)^[1].

His siblings were:

1. John Runciman (1784 - ~1816)
2. Alexander Runciman (~1786 - ~1831)
3. Thomas Runciman (~1791 - 1885)
4. Robert Runciman (~1794 - 1869)

George (22) married Janet Darling (~21) (~1799 - 1862) on 18 May 1821 in Bunkle and Preston, Berwickshire^[2].

Their children were:

1. Thomas Runciman (~1821 - 1877)

In the 1841 Scotland Census George is said to be aged 40 years and employed as an Agricultural Labourer. He resides with his wife Janet (40), children Agnes (13), John (10), George 7, Darling (3) and his father in law David Darling (70) at Balgone Barns, North Berwick, Haddingtonshire^[3].

By the 1851 Census his wife Janet is residing with their daughter Agnes and her family along with John, George and Darling at Auldham Farm in the Parish of Whitekirk and Tyninghame, Haddingtonshire^[4].
