I have a funeral card for John Scott who died suddenly on 10 February 1914, aged 35 years, at Newhouse Farm, Holytown.  His wife was Mary Pollock. Does anyone have any connection to either John or Mary? I may be on the wrong list as I don't know where Holytown is. Thank you for your time. Dorothy (Wood) Riegel   Dorothy Riegel   

This may just be coincidence because there are undoubtedly a few Holytowns about, while the name Newhouse is not exactly novel. However there is a Holytown a little to the east of Bellshill in Lanarkshire, and a little bit further east is Newhouse which now has an industrial estate and is beside the M8 motorway. This might be the location of your Newhouse Farm, Holytown. Then again, it might not.

Dorothy, If you inspect the death register for John SCOTT, you will find that Iain was exactly correct. It records John as a farmer, spouse to Mary Richard POLLOCK, who was found dead on 10 Feb 1914 at Newhouse Farm, Newhouse, District of Holytown in the County of Lanark. His parents are recorded as John SCOTT (farmer, deceased) and Elizabeth Scott (Maiden Surname BAIRD, deceased). You can obtain the digitised image of the original register online at scotlandspeople.gov.uk.
