(say 1675 - say 1738)

BDMs

     George Runciman was born say 1675 ?Perth, PER, SCT.1
     George Runciman married Margaret Simsone on 10 Jun 1699 Perth, PER, SCT.1
     George Runciman died say 1738 ?Perth, PER; date assumes correct identification in the Testament 16 Aug 1738 "George RUNSIMAN, Sr, late senior of the bakers in Perth."2
Extant birth/baptism records for Perth (PER) show the earliest George as born 1666 to Georg RUNSIEMAN & Christane DOWGLAS, with two near contemporaries:
1671 to James RUNCIEMANE
1675 to Andrew RUNSIMAN
neither with a mother shown
Marriages:
1659 George to Heline CHAMBERS (George's testament dative index in 1685 says see also CHALMERS, Helen and describes him as a baxter, burges of Perth, but does specifically mention Christian DOUGLAS as his late spouse. Helen's will, indexed 1662, shows her as spouse to George RUNCHEMAN, Baxter burges of Perth but, as yet, I can't spot her name in the scrawl of George's testament.3
