I apologise if I'm pushing my luck but just one more transcription if
anyone can help!
I'm guessing son Robert & daughter Anna are twins and I can make out
the date as being 19th November but apart from the name, Andrew
Hastings, what is the bit in the middle?
Many thanks.

Not twins. The layout of the entry is a bit confused but it seems to me
to read:
Robertus Filius Anno cum semisse natus )
Anna Filia infans )
Robert son born a year and a half [ago] )
Ann daughter an infant )
The parents seem to be Andrew Hastens and his widow - Andraei Hastens
et [blank] Viduae. What looks like a b must I think be a capital V. The >following entry also has a blank for the wife's name. Worth checking
for a burial of Andrew Hastens in the previous few months to confirm
this reading.

Er - I think it might be his wife's burial you'd be looking for (-:
Oops - or not! I was confused by it giving his name and not hers, but
they might have done that in those days, a "relict" being almost just
a chattel )-:.
Thanks for all the suggestions, they have been very useful.
I have since discovered that Bidua means "continued for 2 days" and
also found that she was buried shorly after birth so I guess it means
she survived for 2 days.
Thanks again for the help.
