Hi Jeff

The first link works (haven't checked the others!)

SENTENCE

A judgement about a disputed will given at the conclusion of litigation. A sentence does not necessarily contain the same details as a will so we have differentiated between the two. Therefore, when you search, your search results will be described as either a will or a sentence.

Above also from National Archives.

PS I'm sure you can get therapy for addiction to Googling!
