I have just sent a will written by Thomas Probert 1825, to FOD for transcribing and will shortly be on the web. At this stage I believe Thomas was the owner of the farm and his brother William Probert, infamous for his involvement of the murder of William Weare of Radlett. If you search on Google books you will be able to read the whole story which also contains pictures of William Probert.
If you look under miscellaneous documents- Wiiliam Probert on the FOD site you can see the story of the demise of William and his hanging in 1825 after stealing a horse from William Meredith of Ruardean.

Thomas Probert/Wife Elizabeth Ambrey, English Bicknor

Please contact me should you need more information. I have a file I can send you.
