The Essex Record office has the Chelmsford Chronicle through 1968 on microfilm. Will have to pay for a search.

Findmypast also has many newspapers - subscription site

British newspapers online you can see a few for free before having to join

Those entries are from the Probate Calendar (select 1858-1996)
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#calendar

You can order the wills from that site, they cost £10. Will be able to download "within 10 working days".
