 it looks like the "slabs" are stones taken from the river and placed over the graves. when I was there you could see quite a few of them.

Hi, I am a member of the local heritage centre and have this photograph of the Village Home Guard which is the only one in that exists today from 1943. I would be extremely grateful if it can be sharpened up and brought more into focus. Colour would a big bonus.
 many thanks

Lanarkshire / Re: Adoption Register Completed
« on: Thursday 09 May 19 11:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi
    Bringing this thread up to date. I phoned the adoption services in Edinburgh and was told J Pollock was processed through Airdrie Sheriff court. I then e-mailed them with the information I was seeking and the clerk e-mailed back saying he would put my request to the Sheriff after I answered some questions he had.
   They came back with;   Access to records can only be granted to the adoptee’s daughter; or to yourself with the written consent of the aforesaid daughter. Please note that ID will be required from the daughter if she writes in giving you consent.
     She is emailing them today but I do not see a problem, the whole process took less than a day with the court replies almost immediately.

 Hi,
     Yip, I would presume his birth certificate would be confidential because of adoption, but with a death certificate I might get access at his local register office which is Baillieston.
    His adopted mother was Sarah Russel Anderson, father James Pollock.

 Hi Flemming,
                   I don't think he is one of the four listed and also that the date of adoption is not his birth date either.
 Will try some other routes many thanks to all rootschatter's for all your help.

 Hi,
      I was trying to get his birth certificate to see who his mother was, on the adopted children register  for him it says "under name and surname, occupation and address of adopter or adopters" his mother is Anderson as confirmed by Rosinish (thank you) but she is not his mother and I know this because I am in contact with his daughter who confirms the unusual circumstances of her fathers life, adopted by his grandparents
