Just when I think I have found all the answers another name pops up--
Found on Rootsweb 3 family trees with a Captain John Gadd,b 28 Feb, 1802 Birdham Sussex, to William Gadd and Elizabeth Russell. I have been able to connect with one person about this tree, unfortunately they have no other information about him and cannot verify the mother's surname as Russell.
and another coincidence is that one of the children of this Captain John ended up in Australia and started his life there--
If this Captain John was indeed born to William and Elizabeth Russell then he would be my Captain Henry Gadd's uncle, as this John(1802) and my captain's father ,Henry(1784) would have been brothers. Quite a time span ,but the last child I have documented being born to Wm. and Eliz. was in 1798, in Widley, Hants, Sussex.
****Now, I really need to know for sure ---so am asking once again for help---does anyone here have access to baptism records for Birdham and could do a look up for me to verify that the mother's surname was indeed Russell.
Everything I have seen so far just says Elizabeth, even IGI record.
Thanking everyone--
