Terrific! Thank you! I thought it might be your parents’ house, but wanted to be sure. And thank you for confirming that is your mother. I found another shot at the same time, and will post soon. Thanks also for the feedback about Minnie. I spoke to Cis today and she told me Bridie’s coming out and will no doubt be able to identify more people and dates. Cheers, S

Yes Julie is correct with the infor that indeed is the family home in Tinnecarrig and I am near sure that is Mary.I think it was taken in the late 1950’s when your Mother was in Tinnecarrig 1956 -1957 I think but I am not sure
it is great see all the old photo and remembering the family History
