In negative
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Wow, the negative works well, doesn't it ? I'm going to try that on some of my other photos !

You might also try viewing the picture on an application like Photoshop, and increase the contrast and manipulate the brightness to intensify the strokes of the inscription.

Getting better!
Can your friend take a trowel on next visit about 5 inch deeper should do it !and repair soil level after to what it was! (sorry to be blunt!
) also rub the whole gravestone writting with wet moss or damp soil & clean off excess.

Hmm.... I'm not sure he'll want to do that, in case someone tells him off
It's one thing taking risks for yourself, but completely different when it's for someone else

He could ask the church warden first for permission as being careful. Only a suggestion. I done it many times.
