To overturn the probate granted in the Archdeaconry of Middlesex, application would have been made to the PCC, as a higher court (as mentioned above).

As the beneficiaries named in the written will were effectively excluded from the later, nuncupative, will, there may have been a dispute. But there are relatively few contentious probate records held in the PCC before 1600, so I wouldn't hold out much hope of finding anything, unless perhaps there is more in the relevant London Archives file. But if this is a notable and well documented family, as suggested, the relevant search may well have been done by someone else already.

Thanks Bookbox. Indeed, I'm not so optimistic about finding anything further to provide greater explanations, or otherwise it must be very deeply buried in the archives somewhere  :(
