BDMs

     Richard Runchman was born say 1770 ?Haddington, ELN, SCT, assumed to be from Scotland given the church his English born children were baptized in.1,3,2
     Richard Runchman married Jane Sanderson on 5 May 1794 Cornhill, NBL, ENG.1,3
     Richard Runchman died aft. 1804 ?Berwick upon Tweed, NBL, ENG.1
Given where Richard and Jane married (Cornhill, NBL), and that the baptisms of their children were at the Scotch Church (Golden Square Presbyterian, Berwick upon Tweed), Richard could be assumed to be from Scotland with Jane from England. The only candidate of an age in the UK on FamlySearch is Richard born 1770 Haddington (ELN) to James RUNSAYMAN & Jean MOFFOT. Baptisms for Richard & Jane's family do leave a gap between marriage, and the first known child of Michael, for a James to "fit" the Scottish naming pattern IF there's also a missing daughter !

However there is a RUNCIMAN family already based in Cornhill around this time, that of John RUNCHIMAN & Eleanor HENDERSON baptizing their children at Cornhill 1771 through 1784, having married, and had at least two children in Newcastle upon Tyne.
At least two of their descendants had travelled, one, Edward, living in New Brunswick, Canada, another, Simon, in France long enough for son George to have been born there (1843), although the family were back in Newcastle by 1851.4,2,3,5,6,7,8
