I need help to decipher this lady's name.
It's from a PR circa 1717.

Can you please post more of the surrounding text? The key to deciphering is comparison of letter-forms. It would be helpful to see how this scribe normally writes the letters U, V, D etc.

Thank-you for posting the page knowlite. For me it helps to confirm that the last letter is a 'd'.

Maggie  ;)

Does the surname appear lower down  ...... ?Samuel? Beauvand? Or am I seeing things that aren't there?

Possibly. But comparing with the minims in Samuell, it looks like Beam...d (not helped by the crease). I don't see a V in it, but I do in Joane's surname at the top.  :-\
