A parallel is a land title search, like you can find a titleholder.

That sort of thing doesn't really exist for wills, it's not a given that it would be registered somewhere.
I also had to go through it recently and only managed to find it because it was done at the same solicitor the enduring power of attorney was done at, so the solicitor's name was on that paperwork.
If the beneficiaries/executor of a will doesn't know where to find a copy of the will, you effectively don't have a will.
You could try the same process that family use when someone passes away and they don't know where the will is:

What's happened to the place that bought the practise the will was created at? When you say they either merged with another or closed down, have you confirmed which one it is? Do you know their name?
