Close/Black Families-Balleny, Dromore

Looking for information on my 3x great grandparents, John Close born c1832 in Dromore and his wife Isabella Black born c1832.

Also their son William Close born July 1850 also in Dromore.

They appear to have been back and forth to Scotland a lot, all three died there, trying mostly to find out about John's parents.

Any help greatly appreciated.

thanks
Lin

Close Family Belleny Dromore

My Great Great Grandmother Isabella Close born 1843 was the daughter of a John Close, Weaver in Dromore. She married James Ferris in 1865 in Dromore CofI and her father John was a witness, I wonder is there a connection here.

Another ancestor of Close/Black family!

Hi Heather, Hi Lin!
I'm related to both of you - my G, G Grandmother was Isabella Close, her father was John Close (brother of William), and his father was John Close and mother Isabella Black - from Balleny in Dromore and all mostly weavers of some kind.
