Hi Paula,
I sometimes have good luck with on-line searches at 5 am and just searched for "Norrington BEDALL." There seems to be people researching him:

(I research the BEDELL name for my step-cousins. My grandfather had 3 marriages, the 2nd one to a twice-divorced Mrs. Hazel (SHAW) (McAVOUR) BEDELL of Boston, MA, area.)
I love browsing in 2nd-hand shops, etc., but have only been to one official "estate sale." There are not many in my area. There were no personal items to be sold, like photos, but I did find some antique china in a miscellaneous box of items.
