Ouch sounds like fun but worth a "Stab" still would be nice to sort out if said Ambrose was from Darlington.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: gravestone inscription
« on: Friday 23 April 10 05:55 BST (UK) »
Hi ZX
I think you will struggle to find anyone able to transcribe the gravestone at those sort of resolutions. I have tried a few tricks and the quality is really not high enough. If you have a higher quality photo you could try adjusting the contrast that often helps.

Hi jrt
If you know which parish in Newcastle she was born you could trawl the Bishops Transcripts http://www.rootschat.com/links/076m/
They are not indexed but can prove helpful.

Hi
It looks like the farm is still there. There is a modern day picture here http://www.rootschat.com/links/089u/
Drag the image slightly south. There is also a map that shows the farm here http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm choose the search tab and enter the post code NE26 4RN then choose 1856-1865 map from the drop down menu.

Not so sure about being an assistant, I would love to jump in with both feet. Trouble is how could you stop yourself going off on a tangent. That said what a great job to have.

Have we been down this road before?? I am sure there are links to other posts regarding this. If you could post the link/s it would save an awful lot of duplicate research.
