Can anyone decipher names the please?

[Joanne]

Hi I've attached the back of a postcard and was just wondering what everyone thought the 2 names at the bottom were please? I haven't got a clue  Sorry its abit blurry

Sunt and Topsy? I'm not confident about the Sunt ...
Sound like either nicknames or animal's names.

I agree with the Topsy bit but could it just possibly, if you work really hard at it, say Aunt Topsy? (With an odd  squiggle between the words.)

Thanks for your replies so we reckon its Topsy then but not sure about the previous word.  On the other side is a photo of an oldish lady.   The mark between the two names though does look the same as the mark Xmas and a prosperous so I would say it is an &

Punch ? & Topsy

Punch ? & Topsy

Don't think so as there is a very clear upper case P at the beginning of Prosperous. It has a very different form to it from the unclear letter at the beginning of the first name.

I agree about the squiggle between words being & - was just hoping that it could have been a mistake, just as I was trying to make the first letter be an odd version of A to make the word say Aunt. But it does look far more like an S, lying on its side.

What about Sunh as short for Susannah?

[Joanne]

Could well be Sunh, these were given to me so no real way of researching them

Hi
Do we know any more about her/them - eg what part of the country, or who the messge was sent to (ie who she was aunt to, if it says Aunt)

If you put Topsy into the search for marriages, just as an example, there are plenty around.

Although it may be a nickname.
