All the Keen Wills are in the Gloucestershire, England, Wills and Inventories, 1541-1858 Collection.

I haven't checked the PCC Wills again, will have a look there

Wills/ probates allsorts in that link

It's a good site that, they have chancery records on there, . Might be worth checking out, although you do get all American records mingled in, but worth a look
