This is an excerpt from the will of John Shuckburgh, dated 1563 (anyone who saw the Alexander Armstrong episode of WDYTYA may remember this family).
I can decipher most of it, but I'm stuck on the name at the bottom left of this excerpt.
The rest reads "I give to Anne Shuckburgh £10, I give to Avice Shuckburghe £10, I give to Elizabeth Shuckburghe £10, I give to ? Shuckburghe £10, I give to Mary Shuckburghe £10. Also I give to Anthony Congarton.."
The best guess I can make at the missing name is Perseverance, but it doesn't look exactly like that. Any other suggestions?
By the way, I assume that "xli" means "£10", but please correct me if I'm wrong.
This is a link to the excerpt, because I don't seem to be able to post images. Is anyone else having problems?

Here it is again, blown up a bit.
