Okay, thanks.  I may actually have info on your Uckfield Bedwells as I did actually carry out a one name study on the Bedwells with a friend of mine while he was at university and we collected lots of information on all Bedwells throughout the UK dating back to 1229 in Essex. I do remember a Sussex branch, but they were not connected directly to Poulton Bedwells.

I believe I have a great deal of information but your Bedwell family going back to the village of Poulton in Gloustershire in 1600, where they were Lord of the Manor.  I carried out a great deal of researching the 1980s (pre-computers) and have many of the Wills and other records. I also have a few portraits from the early 19 century.  If you are connected to these Bedwells your ancestors where termed Gentleman and appointed Locksmith to King George II and III.  PLease let me know if you are still actively researching and I will dig out my old records.
I am not related but an friend of mine at the time was a descendent of Horace Bedwell, who if I remember correctly was Hugh's brother.
