Gibert Blenschel was a Scottish burgess who is known to have lived in Posen 1630-1636. He came from Aberdeen, and became a burgess along with Erasmus Lilithson [SSNE 1083] and George Gibson [SSNE 1085] from Culross. They all submitted letters from the King of Poland and had James Brown [SSNE 1080] as their guarantor. Additionally they promised to attend Catholic services and pay 900 florins to the poor.
