Hello Listers, This is the first time I have carried out any research in Wales. I am looking for the BEAL family. William Beal b abt 1831 (Glamorgan, Wales?) – married Mary Ann? Chn Charlotte Beal b abt 1853 John Beal b abt 1855 Hannah b abt 1857 These birth dates were taken from the shipping list. This family arrived in Australia in 1859 leaving from Liverpool. I am looking for the marriage of William Beal to Mary Ann? pre 1853 Birth of William Beal abt 1831 (it was stated that William was from Glamorgan on the shipping list) Births for all 3 children (I do not know where the children were born?) Hoping some one can help with info. Kind Regards Sue Barker Mahogany Creek, WA

Hello Sue, Birth, Marriage and Death Indexes from Jul 1837 onwards are online at [1]http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl There is a possible marriage in 1851 in Abergavenny District, Monmouthshire (neighbouring county of Glamorgan): Marriages Dec 1851 Abergavenny 26 51 BEALL William ; DANIEL Jane ; DAVIES Morgan ; Morgan Hannah ; MORGAN Jane ; PRICE David; Willmott James; Woodward Mary Ann. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell from the index who married who. I had a quick look at the births, but could not identify the children in Glamorgan or Monmouthshire. I had a quick look at the birth index but could readily identify the children. Not much help I'm afraid, but it may be possible to identify them with a bit more time. regards, Dai Bevan On 13/06/2015 09:02, Sue Barker via wrote: Hello Listers, This is the first time I have carried out any research in Wales.

Sue, William Beal, aged 10 was with his parents John and Martha at Zoar, Neath in 1841 (indexed on Ancestry as Beel). In 1851 he is in Skewen (my birthplace), still living with his parents and working as a pattern maker (indexed on Ancestry as Bale, but looks more like Beale to me). However, in 1861 there is a William Beale, aged 31, born NEath working as an engineers fitter in Deptford, Kent, so you may need to do some further digging.
