Stainton? Strathlea? Are these possibilities?

I’m in Australia, so don’t have local knowledge of the region, but these are what I think I’m hearing

The speaker was born 1878 in Blaydon/Winlaton, Durham and died 1970. The recording took place most likely between 1968-1970. The speaker lived in Durham and Newcastle throughout her life but of course, I'm trying to learn about the speaker's parents.

Have you found the speaker and/or her parents in censuses that would show where they were born? 

.. the father must have left "the word we're having a hard time deciphering" and come over to Durham and then married her.

That seems to imply that he was from somewhere other than Durham, or the county.

That's an excellent thought - thank you both. I'm going to look into it.
