I have been looking for an English saddle and am not having much luck. I don't know much about fitting the saddle to fit my horse and if I want to order one off the web, I might get the wrong size etc.

Here are some that I have looked at:

I liked this one most, but it is quite expensive...

My Kincade Close Contact was 300, and I've had it fit everything from ponies, to really slender horses, to draft crosses. That might be the way to go for you.

if you are getting a treed saddle, it should really be fitted by a qualified saddle fitter ... even with several saddles nominally the same width, they'll all be different
