There are no downloadable Berkshire wills on A2A - A2A carries catalogue entries only. I suspect it is Documentsonline where you have found wills in the past. Both are part of the National Archives site (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk). Documentsonline has the Archdiocesan wills probated through the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Wiltshire Archives (http://www.wshc.eu/about-wshc/archives/209.html) have the Diocesan wills probated through the Bishop of Salisbury/Sarum's probate court. These can also be downloaded for a fee. Unfortunately neither have a will for the chap you mention. The Berkshire Record Office has the Archdeaconry wills - they shouldn't charge much to check their index or, indeed, to print off a copy if a will exists since they are readily available on film/fiche. If Abingdon is in a Peculiar (I don't think it is but ...) then the wills will probably be at the BRO or Wiltshire Archives. Of course most people didn't leave a will.
