Lanarkshire / Platthorn East Kilbride in the 1920's

I am trying to find out if there are any records of residents of Platthorn in East Kilbride in the 1920's.
I have a Norah McCartney listed on the Ellis Island web site as having arrived in New York 22nd May 1921 with her 4 daughters . She was emigrating to join her husband and gives as her last address in Scotland , the home of her brother Henry Burns , Platthorn , East Kilbride.
This is a bit strange as 6 months earlier at the marriage of Henry Burns in Glasgow his address was 145 Finlay Drive in Glasgow and his occupation as a Drapers Warehouseman. Not an occupation in high demand in East Kilbride in the 1920's I think.
Prior to that the family had been long time residents in the Springburn area of Glasgow.
Any info on Platthorn greatly appreciated.
