Below are the names mentioned in a codicil to the above will dated 1811
Alice alters her burial request in the above will dated 1808, and instead requests to be buried at the church yard in the Parish of Tisbury, Wilts. as near as possible to her late neice Elizabeth Bracher the late wife of Samuel Bracher.
Bequest to her neice "Alice Coutell(Cantell ?) who's maiden name was Alice Cottrell. This is a difficult one, not sure who she is! I have found no record of her birth, however there was a Mary Waters of Wiltshire who married a Thomas Cottrell at Durnford Wilts. in 1799, there could be a connection as the surname of Waters (Of Durnford) is connected with Alice Ollyer's relatives. There is also a fire insurance record for a James Coutell of Holborn, London in 1818 (Source: Acsess to Archives) the policy number shows other premises insured other at Fullwoods Rents at Holborn as well. We know that Alice Ollyer had property at Fullwoods Rents as mentioned toward the begining of her will. (See also the extracts from the London Gazzette below)
Alice Ollyer signed this Codicil with her mark (X) 5th July 1811.
Witnesses signed were Henry Coates, Mary Bracher & the mark (X) of Elizabeth Chester (Cheater ?)
The will was proved on the 20th September 1811 on the oaths of Samuel Bracher & John Nicholson.
Her friend the Reverend Samuel Prince died in 1790 at Sherfield, Hampshire, in his will he left his son the sum of £50, Alice Ollyer was the sole Executrix and also the main beneficiary, according to the will Alice was also living at Sherfield at that time.
Extract from The London Gazzette, Issue 17198 Dated 7th Dec. 1816.

Extract from The London Gazzette, Issue 17684 Dated 27th Feb. 1821.
To be peremptorily sold, pursuant to an order of the High Court of Chancery, made in two several Causes of Sharpe versus Bracher and Sharpe versus Troutbeck, before Francis Paul Stratford, Esq. at the Public Sale-Rooms of the said Court, in Southampton-Buildings, Chancery-Lane, London, on Monday the 2d day of April 1821, at One o'Clock in the Afternoon, in three lots.
Three freehold houses, situate in Fullwood's-Rents, in the Parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, in the County of Middlesex, consisting of a long established public house, called the Welch Harp, and two other houses, used as shops, adjoining thereto.
The premises may be viewed by leave of the tenants, and printed particulars may be had at the said Master's Chambers, in Southampton-Buildings aforesaid; of Mr.Windus, Solicitor, Bartlett's Buildings, Holborn; of Mr. Edward Harrison, solicitor, No. 10, New Square, Lincoln's Inn; of Messrs. Alexander and Holme, Solicitors, New Inn, London; and of Mr. John Nicholson, Solicitor, Barford St. Martin, near Salisbury, Wilts.
Note there is a fire insurance policy for the name of Samuel Bracher & John Nicholson in trust for the premises "The Welch Harp" in Fullwoods Rents dated 1815: Source: Acsess to Archives. The above details reinforce the fact that Alice Ollyer was the daughter of Richard Ollyer of Holborn also note that in the Museum of London is a Pewter Tankard that came from Fullwoods Rents and dates from the early 1800's what is interesting to note is that it is inscribed "Fullwoods Rents" and has an engraving of an Irish Harp on the front of it: Source: The Museum of London. The area around Fullwoods Rents was a popular destination for the Irish. (Various sources)
