The will can be obtained by post for 6GBP using the form at http://hmctscourtfinder.justice.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/pa1s-eng.pdf. An obituary (in the sense of a narrative piece detailing someone's life story) is highly unlikely for a man at that time, unless he was someone of considerable note. For a woman, even more so. The fact of her death might have been reported if she or it was considered newsworthy.

Thank you. she was a middle-class Quaker, but whether that would be of note or not, I don't know. the link is unco-operative, stuck in some manner. I believe I've tried to access it (or another section of the same site) in the past with the same results. the icon just spins and all I get is a gray screen with a "loading" icon at the bottom, but that icon doesn't move. so I backed it up to the basic url and got to a place that I could input Ipswich, which gave me three courts, and I am emailing the specific one for Ipswich. hopefully that will get me the information I need.
