According to the last Notice in The Gazette (which are free to search on "The Gazette" their official UK website) it looks like a meeting was held to Discharge the Bankrupt. So he looks to be free of it, provided nobody objected, nor had grounds to object, at that Meeting.

I don't feel you have put up the full paperwork regarding the Will. It looks to stop part of the way through the sentence regarding the person applying for Probate?
Not naming a Beneficiary in a Will, in effect means that you have likely only appointed Executor/s to deal with the Will.
The last time I checked, if you are a witness to a Will, you cannot be a beneficiary. But you may need to consider the Law applicable back then, if different.

I also have a family Will probably made whilst our widow was very upset by the recent loss of her husband without a Beneficiary named on that Will and she only appoints the Solicitor and an accountant as Executors who it states shall have the power to charge their fees in executing the said Will.
Next in The London Gazette the Solicitor publishes a Notice, naming the Testator, when and where she died, asking relatives of the deceased to make formal contact and if he has had no reply by a future date (specified), he will execute the Will and distribute the proceeds as he thinks fit.
