Rayson/Rason.
We have the lady who was recorded as Catherine
Rayson being born as Catherine Rason in Bedworth, 12 miles SE of
Kingsboury. The change of spelling and 12 miles are a little
disconcerting but the age is spot on. Also there is a Thomas
Rayson registering children in Bedworth around 1810 in the LDS,
and A Catharine Rayson being born 1793 in Bedworth. It does look
as if the accepted spelling of the surname shifted 1790-1810. All in
all pretty confident this is the right connection (80%?)
