Title: Westergate near Chichester
Post by: tofgem on Wednesday 28 August 19 11:33 BST (UK)

The Wilson family moved to Westergate at the end of the 19th century. I have the census records, but would appreciate any trade directory entries. The men were market gardeners and the women ran a private school.
Many thanks

Have you checked the Historical directories web site (or newspapers)

Thanks Rosie. I have checked the newspapers on FindMyPast, however, many thanks for your link Bull'seye :) The last directory they have is 1915, but the family is listed prior to this. The link is very much appreciated.
