Hi
Can anyone make out James Robson's place of birth (surrounded with a red box) in the following: https://imgur.com/a/QI8EY? Ancestry has transcribed it as Darley but I can't find any place in Northumberland with this name.
Many thanks
Tom

It's come up too fuzzy to see clearly.

Would it be Dudley?

My guess would be Dewley ;D
Dewley - Throckley [Township] - See: Newburn [Parish]
(RegD/SubD) Castle Ward/Stamfordham - See: Northumberland Central
(OS Grid Ref) NZ1667, (Lat/Lng) N 55° 00.104', W 001° 44.521'
(Maps) Lndrngr 88, Pthfndr 548, Explr 316
6 miles [10 Km] WNW of Newcastle
From the wikipedia entry for Newburn:
Though some claim the village's name comes from the Old English for "New Fort or Castle" (burh or burg being the Old English for fort or castle), the name is more commonly thought to have come from the Dewley or New Burn, which runs through the village.

I agree that it's Dewley....the 1861 census for James says he was born in Newburn, Northumberland and as KGarrad has pointed out, the Dewley burn runs through this area. :)
Regards,
Andrea
