Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice about how to get the info from a hard to read early 1800s gravestone photo on findagrave. I'm sure some of it is worn with age, but the issue is mostly the angle of the photo and the fact it's covered in lichen (the stone is flat on the ground). If someone is local to Thornton-le-Moors, or if they know what steps I should take, short of going there myself with paper and crayon, please help. How do I go about getting someone to help me transcribe it; is it rude to contact the FaG contributor and ask for a better pic? They have detailed 2 names from the stone (and they've also added the woman's birth name). I added another name that I could see, and confirmed with burial record & baptism. I think I know most of the names/dates that should also be on the stone, going by burial records, and I'm now imagining that I can see them, after staring at it close up for ages, lol!
