Hello Phillipsearching,
I do realise this and I greatly appreciate your effort for the bulk of the Will. I thought it best to post it in its entirety so not to miss the overlapping down the line. I do apologise if I have made it more confusing. 

Thank you

Illingworth and Joseph Illingworth and [? ? - illegible] to them each
a fair and reasonable salary for their services and pay the remaining

succesful and not likely to be so in the [?] judgement of my execu

desposed off to the best advantage to the estate and not to allow my dear
wife to suffer loss should [any? ?] prove [?less] [? ? ? - illegible] and from
