The photo is my wifes Grand parents, taken 223 Grant Road Thorndon New Zealand Approx 1949.
Thomas was born in Annahilt County Down Northern Island, Grace was born in ? Northern Ireland. They were married in St Anne`s Parish Belfast on 24 September 1904. They went to NZ in 1925 with 10 children. Both died in New Zealand.
I hope I have not over done the information but we would love it if someone could tidy up this photo for us.

I have had a go at this - it looks a little better and probably better being a little smaller . . . but it is very out of focus . . and I don't think there is much can be done about that.
Anyhow - hope this is OK.
Cheers,
Wiggy

Hi Wiggy,
Thanks for your efforts I will print smaller and see.
Thankyou Tom

Good luck Tom - I didn't mean post a smaller photo, the dpi was OK- ;)
But if you print it out 'not too big' it might work better. ;)

Hi Aghadowey,
Thanks for the information I have not joined Irish Genealogy as yet, any information is great thankyou. My wifes mother was Irena Born 23 May 1921. Are you a close relative and do you live in Ireland?
Thanks Tom and Barb

You don't 'join' Irish Genealogy but just need to supply your name and tick box to access records. Births less than 100 years old are not available on the site. I live in Ireland but am not related.
