Will of Ralph Lock

[BourneGooner]

Hi All

Again I'm hoping someone can work their magic with this will for Ralph Locke from Moulton dated 1665.

A lot of this one is quite readable even by me with my very limited abilities :-)

The part I'm really struggling with though is the name of Ralph's (Rafe) daughter it looks like "Also" but that can't be right. And the Latin part at the end

Again any help with this would be extremely gratefully received.

I think his daughter’s name is Alse (Alice). The final letter isn’t an ‘o’ it’s an ‘e’.

Agree with JenB.
It's 'Alse'.

And the Latin part at the end

probat(um) &c. apud Boston 9^o
Octobris 1665 cor(am) ven(erabi)li
viro Ed(wa)r(d)o Lake Bur(one)tto & L(egum) d(o)c(t)or(e)
Rev(er)andi in chr(ist)o p(at)r(is) Ac d(omi)ni
d(omi)ni Beniam(ini) p(ro)viden(cia) div(in)a
Lincoln(iensis) Ep(iscop)i vicar(io) in spi(ritual)ibus
gen(era)li &c Ex(ecutri)ce prius Jurat(a)

Proved etc. at Boston on the 9^th of October 1665 before the Worshipful Edward Lake, Baronet and Doctor of Laws, Vicar-General in Spiritual Affairs etc. of the Reverend in Christ, Father and Lord, Lord Benjamin, by divine providence Bishop of Lincoln, the executrix having first been sworn.

Again many many thanks for help with this one. Not been on computer for a while so not had chance to reply.

The Alse (Alice) now makes perfect sense I know Ralph had a daughter Alicia b.1623 so it must be referring to her.

Thanks again
