If Ambrose buried at Leeds in 1782 was aged 60 and from Darlington, then it may be Ambrose baptised 1726 Auckland St. Andrew, who married Isabell Porteous.  How interesting though.

You probably already know the answer (since it's more than 4 years elapsed since the original discussion) but the Ambrose that died in Leeds was from Darlington.  The Bishop's Transcript doesn't mention an age, but it must be a good chance that it is Ambrose (bap. 1726).

Just checked and there is also a Susanna Burniston baptised 1810 daughter of John, Quarry Hill - does this help rule Thomas 1812 out?

I see there is an 1855 death for a Thomas Burniston of Leeds, Yks so perhaps the similarity of names is just coincidental.

I was just looking at a baptism for Thomas son of John Burniston of Quarry Hill, born 8 Feb 1812 baptised 1 Sept 1812   

Hmmm.  That's a bit worryingly close.

John Burnside, Shopkeeper & Effia Sophia Ulvan (?), Spinster by Licence

Many thanks again.  I've always thought that this is the correct marriage as I think her name was Euphemia Urwin, so Effie could well be a short version.  Shopkeeper is not quite what I was expecting though!  Might have to give it some thought.

Seeking a baptism date for Thomas Burnside c.1813-1894.

From the census returns Thomas was born in Leeds, Yorkshire circa 1813 and there are sufficient relational clues to confirm that his parents were John & Euphemia/Euphance Burnside.  John Burnside was a travelling potter and as a result the family appears to have moved around frequently.  Baptisms of other siblings occurred at Newbottle in Co. Durham, Richmond and Leeds in Yorkshire and Hexham in Northumberland, but I haven't found one for Thomas in the right timeframe

I would also be grateful for any information showing how Lavinia Burnside connects to this family (possibly a sibling of Thomas).
