Ann Lewis, b1795 in Spofforth d1877 Sicklinghall Yorkshire married Robert Robinson (d1857) in 1839 no children. She left a will that was cited in her brother George Lewis' will in 1883. How do I find this will?

I know I'm showing up on this thread a little late .... hopefully not too late.
I have a lot of information regarding this very same Lewis family. Among Ann (Lewis) Robinson's siblings was a younger brother, Jonathan Lewis. In 1845 he emigrated to the US... to Sullivan Co, PA specifically. His descendants (of which there are many) still reside there today. I also have a lot of information pertaining to this family prior to Jonathan's emigration.
