There's nothing about this maker in Baillie, but in Britten's Old Clocks and Watches there is an entry for a maker named John Gatland of Cuckfield, 1740 (Edward's father, brother?).

You might find more out by contacting the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, based in London, although most of their records are for London makers. But if John Gatfield of Cuckfield is recorded there, who knows, perhaps other family members are recorded too.

I just checked on

http://www.familysearch.org

which is a good genealogical site.

An Edward Gatland was christened on the 20th August 1715 in Cuckfield . He married Mary Sawyer on the 20th September 1740 and had ten children. He was buried on the 5th January 1780
