  6. ↑ (according to the Fasti article on father Dr David R, he died 1862 in Dunbar, but there are no William Runciman deaths registered in Scotland that match around 1862/3, and if he was in Sth Africa Jul 1862, he'd be hard pushed to get back)
  7. ↑ from Glasgow on 10 April 1862||a 95 days voyage ||notes from a grandson saying "Two brothers, John and William RUNCIMAN emigrated to South Africa in 1862. They hailed from Glasgow, and after 95 days at sea in the 224 ton vessel "Olympia" disembarked at Port Natal (Durban) on July 10th . William was sickly and was most likely coming to South Africa for health reasons. He survived the wet and uncomfortable voyage but died soon after his arrival"
