From the National Probate Calendar for 1858:-

The Will of Thomas Endell Wanklyn late of Hadnock in the Parish of Dixton in the County of Monmouth Gentleman deceased who died 6th March 1858 at Hadnock aforesaid was proved at the Principle Registry by the oaths of Philip Endell Wanklyn of Monmouth in the said county Gentleman the brother and Thomas Joseph Addams Williams of the same place Solicitor the Executors. ("According to the tenor of the said Will" is added by hand after the entry.) Effects under £3000.

From the National Probate Calendar for 1859:-

13th May. The Will of William Wanklyn late of the Town of Monmouth in the County of Monmouth Attorney at Law and Solicitor deceased who died 28th November 1858 at Monmouth aforesaid was proved at the Principal (sic) Registry by the oath of Philip Endell Wanklyn of Dixton in the said County Gentleman the Brother and one of the Executors. Effects under £800.

Not much extra information except to confirm they were all brothers and that they died 9 months apart. (And one was worth more than the other, I suppose. £2500 might be the equivalent of £100,000 or more today).
