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

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,
