Hi,

Horselydown86 has interpreted the phrase correctly.  The names of the three children are Adam, Ales [Alice] and Martha.  This Will was written by someone whose education in literacy wasn't complete, viz "equilly" for 'equally' and "an" for 'and'.  So, it does not surprise me that Alice's name was spelled phonetically as "Ales".

Thanks - I've now found the baptism for Alice so that all ties in.

There are a couple of other words I can't work out in the will.

second line in the first attachment:

'...my p_____  hopeing [?] through ye ________ death & pasion [?] of Jesus Christ....'

second line in the second attachment:

'...pleased god to be stowe upon me ________ I give & dis-....'

Thanks for any ideas.

These were typical stock phrases in old wills.
The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ is the arrest, trial, suffering and execution of Jesus.

Is the rest of "dis-" continued on next line?
  "dis-
