I don't think the name can begin with 'A'  as the first letter doesn't seem to resemble the 'A' of  'Alys'

I know that Tymothy/ie was a common girl's name
Andrea

Yes, I've got a Timothy Mills and a Timothy Wheatley in my line, both female.  Roger, think you've cracked it, it certainly does look like Julyan, obvious when someone else points it out isn't it!

I don't know what happened to my post but I replied to Roger's suggestion of Julyan, agreeing that it looks right.
Anyway thanks Roger.

The first 'something' is another person's name - Alis (something)


The second 'something' is 'daughters' I think.

Thanks, Jen, I am with the rest of you now.

First letter of the missing name looks like the I of 'I bequeath', and the squiggle in the middle a bit like the squiggle in the surname - what is the surname, Chusty?

Though I cannot take the transcription any further than has already been done, I think it is pertinent to comment that this illustrates the preferability whenever possible of buying copies of any document in person at the National Archive, it is then relatively easy to upload parts of it for transcription etc.
