I'm looking for a record of the birth of my grandfather, Charlie Beale. His Australian marriage certificate tells me that he was 23 years of age on 22 May 1892 and that his birthplace was Gillingham, Dorsetshire, England. He had a brother Tom.
Also any records (birth, marriage or death) of his parents, Edwin Beale and Martha Beale (nee Stone).
With thanks
Marian

Hi Marian
Charlie Beale is the brother of Henry Beale who is my great great grandfather. I knew there was an Australian connection down that branch of the family and would love to hear from you!

I knew about Edwin and Charles but Frank is news to me! So fascinating to think a family so established in Dorset would venture to Australia.
My great great grandfather Henry Beale stayed in Dorset and had eight children one of which whose descendants also moved to Australia many years later!
Thanks for the information.
