There is only one Thomas Farr born in Bathgate in 1914. You will find his birth cert on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
If you are not already a member you will have to join. It will cost you £6. However this will give you 5 certificates, if you search carefully. For example, if his parents were married, their marriage date will be on his birth cert and you could then download that too.
If there is a marriage cert it will show the names of the bride and groom's parents.
Best wishes
Jean

Hi, Jean & John.
Unfortunately, ScotlandsPeople will not provide an image because the birth is less than 100 years old, there being a cut-off point at 1907 for images of births.
I did some research on the Beatties and Ronalds in Bathgate a number of years ago and the only Farr family in Bathgate was connected to the Ronalds. James Farr married Mary Ronalds and I suspect Thomas Francis was James' great-grandson. If my memory serves me correctly I think the only Farr getting married in Bathgate between 1900 and 1920 was Robert Anthony Farr, the illegitimate son of Elizabeth. He married Mary Lackie and I think Thomas was their second son.
Anyhow, I'm going to Edinburgh on Tuesday and if you can wait until then I'll get you a definite answer - albeit in transcript rather than a copy certificate.
Will that suit?
Regards,
mr-aitch

Ooops Apologies
I'd forgotten about the 100 year rule on births!
Best wishes

Hi,
In my LDS 1881 it lists
JAMES FARR age 52
ELIZA FARR age 50
GEORGE FARR age 16
JAMES FARR age 13
JOHN FARR age 10
DAVID BEATTEY age 27
They lived at No 1 Pottery Yard
Heworth, Durham
FHL Film 1342212 Pro Ref RG11 Piece 5031 Folio 85 Page 35
They must have moved to england
I presume DAVID was James brother in law.

Hi,
Thanks very very much for all your efforts and time.
My interest in Thomas is because of a dead friend.
Thomas was his uncle.
Hearing so much about him over the years got me interested.
Once again thanks very much.
Regards
John
