Life He was the son of George Probert, who married Magdalen, daughter of Charles Williams (of Llangibby). He was therefore nephew of Sir Trevor Williams; and shared his extreme Protestant views.

At the beginning of this period Probert and Arnold were pressing the local justices to take action against practising Catholics. Probert assisted Arnold in his confrontation with Henry Milbourne.
