I'm able to read most of it, but I've highlighted a mystery word or name that has me stumped. Can you help with what it is and what it means?

Many thanks!

  • D 24 Feb. Holtgens Fr. Eulcke
  • D 11 Aprill Gischengerds Fr. Eulicke
  • D 11 July Gerd Fryen Fr. Eulcke

Eulcke/Eulicke is a very rare given name, mostly near the Dutch border. It could  be a variant of Eilke/Eilcke.

Fr.=Frau (wife)

I would agree the word is “Eulike.”  Though it is not a given or family name I’m familiar with. Of the three appearances of the word, I believe the same person wrote the first and third, and another person wrote the second.

The first letter "E" is always the same. All words are written by the same person
