Looking at the Probate Records on Ancestry

The Will with a Codicil of William NICHOLSON late of Higher Lord's Hill, Coleford in the County of Gloucester who died 19 December 1881 at Coleford, was proved at Gloucester by Thomas NICHOLSON of Yorkley in the said County, Gentleman and Benjamin Wilmot PROVIS, Draper and Betram Herbert Taylor, Ironmonger, both of Coleford and Executors.

As a Codicil is an alteration or a condition to a Will - wonder whether the two Wills of a William NICHOLSON in 1835 and 1836 (non-conformist) Newland on the Gloucestershire Genealogical Database - belong to William NICHOLSON, the Baptist Minister after the birth of his two children.
