Ancestry have only had wills indexes plus images for PCC wills relatively recently (plus certain other counties) Some years ealier, The National Archives offered an on line index to PCC wills, from which you could buy a copy of the actual wills. However, I have checked under Gabey/Gabie/Gaby and there is no Ralph as described in PCC. I have also looked at the Norfolk index`(rather more complex to access) and they claim no Ralph Gabey either. I didn't check Cambridge) Possibly you got this will from a solicitor's collection deposited at one of the two local archives. There may be an on-line catalogue from the office, or something included in TNAs 'Discovery' catalgue of material in Archives nationwide.
