Sorry, I have to disagree.
Compare the spacing of the Do in Doctor with that of the Du  in the purported  Duckow and consider that he would have written the C first then the D, but spaced it before the C. Sorry, not on.
I'll stick with D Cuckow!

Yes I see what you mean - there is a gap between D and uckow and the letter mixed up with the D could be a C. So D Cuckow is very feasible.
When was this will?  it may be possible  to check a list of Notaries for the time/ find on census ???

I think the name might be D Cuckow.
Compare the last letter to the w in 'Laws' & 'was' ...

Yes macwil, it certainly could be ow rather than ore, and I suspect it probably is.  I missed the formation of his w.

Apologies to Wayne N for the incorrect information.

9 June 1741 (2nd line).

A little early for a census me thinks ;D

Not sure how I missed that date!

As you say a little early for a census. However, there are plenty of Cuckows in Kent including, most notably, Daniel Cuckow N P in a 1739 document on the Kent, Tyler Index to Wills

That is brilliant!  :D
Maybe the OP can find that will and compare the handwriting styles for definite confirmation.

Good find Janan with the 1739 William Wood Will reference and Daniel Cuckow as NP :)

 Thank you macwil for your deductive reasoning in making sense of the NPs handwritten name :)
