I have been researching Bedo families around Chilham and Selling trying to find a common link. Benjamin is a common name in several of them. Elizabeth Bedo married Edmund John Welch,she was the daughter of Benjamin Bedo and Sarah Bartlett. Benjamin was the son of Benjamin Bedo and Maria Baker. This Benjamin was the son of Stephen Bedo and Elizabeth Shilling. I believe but have not proven that Stephen Bedo was the son of Benjamin Bedo and Elizabeth Rouse who married in CHartham in 1761. I think my John Bedo was a son of theirs too. He married Ann? and had several children including a Benjamin but it is his daughter Mary I descend from. ANother brother William married Florinda Valder.

Hope you can understand it all but basically the name is not common and their are several families living around Faversham area and surrounds and they seem to be all related. I have found Florinda Valders nephew lodging with Mary Daws nee Bedo in Margate in 1841 so that give a link from William Bedo to the daughter of John Bedo.
