Hello Shirley, can I ask why you are looking for Bartholomew? What connection is he to you?
Is it his past you are interested in or are you looking for him now?

Ellen/Helen's brother Bartholomew died young - an added reason to name her son Bartholomew.

If this is Ellen/ Helen Porter, she has a brother named Bartholomew.

As a total guess, I would wonder if these were his parents. The P as a middle name could be Porter and there are other children born around the same time with middle name Porter. To be absolutely sure, you need his BC.

From a free search on Scotlandspeople, this could be his birth reg

(details removed as potentially living & on current ER - references sent by PM)

As it was less than 100 years ago, [born during the 1930's] you'll need to purchase a copy via the site.
https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search-our-records

Scottish birth certificates are more informative than English & Welsh ones. They should give details of where the parents married (if they did). The index does not give mother's maiden surname
