The ONS pages have been updated to include a few more notes on the (assumed) family of Thomas and Jean (SIMPSON) RUNCIMAN.
Still to come, further details on the lines of Alexander (marr. to MANDERSON) and George (marr. to Janet DARLING).

26th: Stirling
Research on one William I couldn't find in England where expected in 1911 led me to an emigration record of a William, no further information on FindMyPast.co.uk.
The Canadian Archives end of the journey showed that he wasn't the chap I was looking for but did lead to a line of RUNCIMANs from Campsie, Stirling, with connections to Kirkintilloch (DNB).
End result is that the (very few) extant Stirling R*N*M*N* births/baptisms to be found in the OPR index have been included in the Name Distribution map for Births to 1854, with a page being added for Stirling (STI) showing the surname variants/date analysis.
All 18 births/baptisms, with 7 variant spellings between them, over two, probably related, families.
However, not included in the analysis for example is a variant noticed as part of this research - RUNCH. The Campsie family mentioned above appear in two ancestry.com census entries indexed as RUNCH, and not in the ScotlandsPeople census index extracted using R*N*M*N*.
So maybe the transcribers of the census got that one correct!
