I keep seeing in some groups on FB, where people are editing and enhancing their old family photos then colorizing them. I became interested in doing this with some old family photos I have that are in poor condition and you can't really clearly see the person. At first, I was looking at apps for photo editing, I had to get a new computer about a month or so ago and discovered I had an app on my new computer that would do this. It is the Copilot AI powered app. I started playing around with the app to see how it worked. I think I pretty much got it down now. You have to type in command prompt for what you want to do, and it does it. Anyways, I tried out editing and enhancing a few really old photos of family members and WOW! They turned out so awesome. I am attaching a few I did. Here are the before and after photos. Let me know what you think. These are my great grandparents Henry Hamilton Weakley and Mary (Sedden) Wilson Weakley.

Before I take the plunge and order a marriage certificate, can anyone advise where else I can seach for the marriage details of Hannah Ferry born 1855, Sunderland (Parents William Ferry and Hannah Clark). I have found 2 possible marriages - Robert William Evans (Married 1875 - Sunderland) William Clouder (Married 1877 - Sunderland) I have searched - Ancestry, Findmypast, Familysearch, and Durham Records Online, but they have only resulted in the Index record which doesn't show her fathers details etc. On the census of 1871 Hannah was living at 12 Gerald Street, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland, if that may help. Thank you

Here's what we found for @Sonize Weakley records of baptisms, marriages and burials for her SHAW and HARDIE ancestors :D

I have never had any interest in listening to podcasts as I would rather watch something on the tv, but that has recently changed thanks to @Ceri Logan. She has shared some details of her favourite genealogy podcasts, so I thought I would give them a go as it's something I am extremely interested in, and what a surprise I am really enjoying them and finding them so informative. I started listening to 'A Family History of...' and loved how they had added so much more details to a persons life - what it was like to live at that time, general employment, living conditions etc. So today, I have picked one of my ancestors and I am trying to put together a more detailed story of their life (on paper, not podcast!), but I am learning so much more and hopefully making it more interesting to share with family and friends. I will share my story on here too in the hope to inspire more people 😉

My grandfather name is John O Bible and I have been trying to figure this out for quite sometime, my mom is the only one of his 11 children still living and she does not remember him being married but twice, however on family search it has an Alice Hill married to John O Bible, after researching the marriage certifacate I can see where they just possible found a John Bible and attached it. However after looking at the census that was done it 1940 it says she married a John S Bible which I have also found in my family tree and it better matches the age and information provided. Is there a better way to prove which John Bible it belongs to because I have had several people reach out to me telling me that Alice needs to be added to my tree, and i just politely tell them that until I can get more information to prove which person that she belongs to I am not adding her to my grandfathers tree. I have attached the copy of marriage license and a copy of the census that I have found any help would be greatful.
