If you have a full name and date of death, you can obtain a copy of the will [if one has been made] by writing to York Probate Registry, Castle Chambers, York, YO1 9RG, with the details.
Enclose a cheque for £5, for each will, [non-returnable]  made out to HM Paymaster General.
They will search for 4 years from date of death.
Hope this helps!

Hi Pat

Check with your local library or family history centre.. to see if they have the

National Probate Calender Index.

This is a searchable index for anyone who left a will or administration paper..

It is free to search if they have it..
