Hi,

Sandra & LindaGW a big THANKYOU!

Yesterday I discovered a Death Notice for Annie Gertrude RUNCIMAN  on page 44 of the Regina Leader-Post dated 27 Oct 1971. There may also be one for James Paterson RUNCIMAN.

The Reginna Leader-Post also included the same MIA report for Ian R A RUNCIMAN.

I also corrected my error in thinking that James W R RUNCIMAN was the son of James P RUNCIMAN.
He was his nephew and the son of Alexander McInnis RUNCIMAN. 

There is a Memorial Inscription in the St Thomas Cemetery, St Thomas, Ontario that reads :
Eleanora RUNCIMAN 1918-1999 wife of Capt. J R PEARSON  1921-2008.

Thanks again
JonJon

Hi again,

I have located Obituaries online for :
James Douglas RATCLIFFE and Dixon Taylor COTTINGHAM.
In both cases they left widows.. who are probably living.

Cheers
JonJon

James Paterson Runciman died on 31 October 1971 and his obituary appeared in the Calgary Herald on 1 Nov 1971, page 34.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ezv/
 
According to his obituary, his wife, Annie Gertrude Runciman died on 24 October 1971 but unfortunately issues of the Calgary Herald from late October 1971 do not seem to be available online so her obituary will be a little harder to track down.
James' obituary mentions three surviving daughters and gives their married names as well as where they live.


Hope you get a notification since this is an old thread and you haven't been online for some time.
