It looks to me like   "my other four children Jane Chillery(?), Elerby (presumably male with the same last name as the maker of the will) Lidia Taylor and Will (also male) fortie shillings etc

I read the children as: Jane:Co?  Allis: Eler? Lidia:Taylor & Will: Scot  -it would make sense for the women (presumably married) to have different names. I can't see other "four" - but it could be right. At the end, "after my decease"? Could it be "sixteen" shillings?

On looking again I think it is Jane Cole, Alys Elerby, Lidia Taylor and Will. Scot.  Hannah

All, thanks, I can see the fourth one now.

Time to delve back into the PR's (which possibly being during the inter regnum may or may not exist)
