But then the middle letter of that word does not look like the ‘m’ in Tom the last letter in ‘Lynam’.

The two words ‘Lowry turnip’ (just for identification  ;D) look to have the same two letters in them -possibly ‘ur’ joined.

 ;D  Exactly - I think it looks like a 'w'!   ;D

Tricky isn't it.  ;)

For what it's worth, this is my take:

This is From Baby Bernie

Jack Lynam

Lowrey Krup

June 45


I've identified it as K with trepidation but I've seena few Ks written like that!

I don't see a T... I see, Son baby Bertie? and sowing turnips? The T in the word this and turnips (if that's what it says) is different to what has been suggested as Tom. I'm not sure that the last word is a surname as it would start with a capital letter. Wild guess...we need to see the photo as context will greatly help.

Think we need to see the front of the card and see who Jack Lynam married and if there was a Bernie/Bernard Lynam (who might be still alive as many 1945 babies are  ;)  )
