Just wanted to give a public thanks to Andypandy for his assistance with colourising photographs for me. These kind gestures mean so much and have been gratefully appreciated by my family and brought a great sense of comfort to my uncle. Thank you

Looking for some guidance or a starting place on how to colourise black and white photographs. I have used the application within ancestry however feel that my photographs need to be finally tuned in certain places as the colour of flowers for example remain a neutral colour. Apologies that it is a broad request but any signposting would be gratefully appreciated.

Apologies for the delay in responding i have had a few family matters to deal with.
Gaffy thank you sincerely for this information. You have certainly gave me great suggestions on possible links which i need to try and explore further and hopefully can connect to my tree. Can i ask which site you used to gain these details and if it is easy to use. Peoples Scotland has been my main source of information up to this point however feel that i need to broaden out to other sources and was contemplating going to PRONI in Northern Ireland to try and access their records.
Heather thank you as well for the lead. My pedigree line is littered with Joseph, John and Essie (Esther) Crombies so i have no doubt that the Crombies at this time and area would have been connected in some way. Like many other researchers it is the connecting bit that is the problem.
I have been made aware that their is a book / paper within PRONI specifically connected to the Crombies of Drumballyroney. Hence why i feel that this should be my next port of call.
Thanks again and all your guidance and assistance is gratefully appreciated.

Hi aghadowey
I fully understand the limitations at that time to the size of families.
It is more in hope to be honest and gain clarity if this family had succumbed to the mortality issues of this era. I have not been able to even find a death certificate or burial information relating to this which would ease my mind.
So frustrating 🫣

Thanks for the reply Sam.b,
I have used this site in the past as this has provided me with information about Thomas Cromie and his wife and their children. However I have had no luck around expanding on Thomas siblings.
I do have a marriage and death certificate for Thomas mother Margaret as she remained in Ireland whilst Thomas and his family emigrated to Scotland. It would appear that after Margaret’s death her husband / Thomas father joined his son in Scotland.
2 siblings,…surely from this era there would have been more?
So frustrating.
Thanks again Sam.b

Down / Bandridge / Drumballyroney Cromies - Still looking
« on: Sunday 24 July 22 14:47 BST (UK) »
After a break I have frustratingly returned to see if I can add anymore names to my pedigree line which I have managed to trace back to the 1800s to the Banbridge area. The following is all I have, but my hope is to find more siblings. Any guidance or support would be gratefully appreciated.
John Cromie (1793) married Sarah McReadie (1797)
they had a son James Crombie (1818-1884) who married Margaret McCullough (1815-1881) in Ballyroney Presbyterian Church Drumballyroney 23rd March 1846
James / Margaret then had Thomas Crombie (1847-1915) and Elizabeth Crombie (1852-1914) both resided in the Banbridge area before moving to Irvine Scotland. I am confident that I have all the information related to Thomas and Elizabeth.
As stated above I believe and hope to find more Cromie / Crombies for the strands connected to John or James.
Like many other researches you try and never give up as I firmly believe that John and James must have had larger families.
Thanking you in advance.
Gary
