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%?)
