    3. yours:" I have a page from Lewys Dwnn's Heraldic Visitations that puts my husband's ancestor in Bedson S. Moethig. I was told Moethig is actually Shrewsbury, but I've been unable to locate a Bedson. Could it be Bedston, and was that a parish?" Hello Theresa, Document of 1712 mentions Manor of Jay, Bedson and Beckjay, which puts Bedson nowhere near Shrewsbury. Document of 1707 mentions Bedson (Bedston). (This gem of info from a2a site). This puts it in the triangle that needs coverage from Shropshire, Herefordshire, Radnorshire. Bedstone is within the Purslow hundred. Maybe S.Meothig is the name of a holding or whatever. I have some things to look at that may mention it, and will write you off line if anything likely turns up. Heraldic Visitations are something at which I have never even looked. Jo,. Shropshire.
