The squiggle from the d on the line below put me off a little - It looks like something like Arthur...

I think the first letter is L

Take a look at 'London' in the lines above.  Other than that I have no idea  ::)
Crampton, Cook,  Bell, Pinkney, Curry, Duffey, Marshall, Smurthwaite, Urwin - Durham/North Yorks
Harrison - Northumberland
Rowland, Nicholson, Sneaton - Whitby
Athey, Ball, Lamb, Handley, Rymer, Duffey, Pool, Stringer, Wilkinson, Varley - West Yorks
Fisher - Essex

The first letter L of London looks like the letter S of 'Stock Exhange'.

The name could begin with L or S.

In the words 'this friendly office' which appear a couple of lines above the name - do you think the 'th' looks like the letters just before the end of the name?

The will is of Henry Ann Mouchet of Lambeth.

I was originally hoping to find Samuel Mouchet named as a child. I am stuck on Samuel's baptism.

I can see  th at the end. Also wondered about Arthur but the A of Mary Ann is very different so abandoned that idea.

Could it be Lestar?   It certainly looks like an L at the beginning.

I am wondering about Louisa.

The sqiggle of the d below confuses it but there is also an & symbol of some sort, immediately after, because it says "  for as many as may hereafter be born"
