Where do I go from here please?

[patbee]

I think I may have lucked out here and need a suggestion as to how to actually see this information in full-- or is it even possible?
Who do I contact to ask?


Now this really gets my blood racing and heart pounding as I have many Pearce families connected to my Gadd family, through my Henry Gadd marriage to Mercy Sexton.

Below is what I found while 'trawling" around the West Sussex Past site.

Thanks for your help.

It looks like it's part of West Sussex County Council so I'd just email them and ask.

I always get good results for these sort of things by being polite and making out i think they'll know more than me LOL.

Good Luck. Looks like a find.

thanks Harrys mum-- I will do just that--
and have no fear-- I am sure they DO know more than I do-- LOL-;)

I have sent my query about these files in Sussex and have one reply-- actually, it was a confirmation that they rec'd it and have forwarded it on to the appropriate office. So----------the waiting game begins-- I am just a "little" excited-- will keep you posted-- have a great day!!

update--just wanted to share with everyone--

I have just rec'd an answer from West Sussex Records Office.

Fantastic news!!!!!!!

there are a total of 35 pages in 2 reports regarding the Gadd family of West Sussex!
There will be a cost involved for these pages ,plus postage, but at this time I am more than willing to pay.
I am having a "happy dance" day!

Ooo, Pat! That's exciting! How lovely, to find something like that!

I'd dance with you, but you're a bit too far away!

Bee.
