John Beales

I'm trying to find out info about John Beales who was born in Catield, Norfolk in December, 1832. According to his marriage certificate (in South Shields, Durham in July 1860 to Elizabeth Pringle) his father's name was also given as John (living) who was stated as a shipwright. I can't find John on the 1841 census and, as he was a merchant seaman (previously in the Naval Reserve) In the late 1860s John gained his only mate and master mariner's tickets and in both documents he states his birthplace as Catifled. I have only one census entry (on the ship Clarissa in 1881 in the Scilly Isles) I have quite a bit info about John's life after 1860 in South Shields but am missing info on his early life which will take my line further back. I understand Hickling is very close to Catfield in Norfolk and there are lots of 'Beales' living there. Is there a family link I wonder? I am hoping to visit the area later this month and would appreciate any ideas where I may continue my research. |

If the father didn't witness the marriage, you can't be certain that he was 'living'. |

Hi thanks for all the info. I have Elizabeth Belaes (nee Pringle) in the 1861 - 91 censuses living in S/shields. John Beales died in Harton Workhouse, S/Shields in March 1895. Some of his chidlrens names that do not appear in the Pringle family are: Richard, William, Esther, Harriet and Henry.. Richard Edward (my gt grandfather) was born in 1874 in S/Shields. |
