Ok - Bedingfield is a name often found in Norfolk.  This particular thread is about wills proved in East Sussex prior to 1858.

Wills proved prior to 1858 were proved by church courts in the jurisdiction in which the testator resided.  So if you ancestor/relative died in Norfolk somewhere, you may find a will in the Norfolk archives (always assuming that they left a will) or it may have been proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC).  This is the research guide from NOrfolk Record Offce:

The National Archives (TNA) hold the wills proved in PCC and these can be searched for in their catalogue.  They have two useful research guides here:

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/wills-and-probate-before-1858-further-research/

Ancestry also has images of PCC wills pre-1858.

At least five of the people listed in your post died after this date and so if they left a will, you would need to search here:

You can order a pdf downloadable copy of the will for £1.50.  Try all spelling variants. 

I hope that helps.

As KGarrad says it is the film number from the Family History Library of FamilySearch/LDS church

In this instance it is the Transcripts of the PR and BTs, so it would still not be as close to the original that I think you are after.

I checked to see what was available on FamilySearch using the catalogue search, but burials for that date were not included.  However, the BTs were, so I just looked through the film.  I have to admit I got lucky in guessing whereabouts it might be - I zoomed in on 1787 initially so it wasn't far to scroll.

Images of the BTs are available on FamilySearch.  Benjamin's burial is on this page:

Hi Bronwen,

I'm afraid I haven't found an easy way to search through the wills, except to pick a place on the film, zoom in to find a date and a name and then look at the catalogue entries at The Keep website to see where I might have landed in relation to the will I want.  Once close, I work my way through the images.  A bit tedious, but it works for me.  I believe that SFHG have a look-up list to give the image number for the will required.  You would have to contact them for that information.

In the meantime, here is a link to Joan's will.
