There was something called The Surname Society which might suit your needs better than the Guild.

I've no idea whether it's still in existence.

Previously Westminster parish registers have been available on Findmypast. This wasn't very convenient for researchers because other London parish registers are on Ancestry.

But you don't necessarily need the reference to order a certificate.

I don't see it as a matter of disputing the will.
