Here is the marriage (by license) in Avening, Gloucestershire (about 8 miles from Crudwell)
11 Sept 1766 Henry BEALE to Ann COX
Henry Beale of Crudwell in the county of Wilts
Ann Cox of this parish
Both signed their name
Witnesses – Thos Saunders and Thos Close?


Added:
There appears to have been a previous marriage for Henry.
There is a record for a marriage license in Box, Wiltshire on 6 Oct 1749 for Henry Beal of Crudwell and Hannah Gegg of Hankerton. (Writing is rather faint on the registrar)
The 1766 marriage record to Anne Cox does not give any detail about his marital status, but I think it is probably the same Henry Beale.

Hannah Beale (nee Gegg) was buried in Hankerton 23 June 1762

Children of Henry and Hannah who were baptised (and buried) in Hankerton:
Henry 1750
Richard 1752 - 1772
Mary 1755- 1756
Mary 1756- 1812
Ann 1759
William 1761- 1762

[Neale1961]

There is marriage by license in Crudwell 9 Oct 1777 for Henry BEALE (gent & widower) to Mary HAYS (spinster).
Both are of Murcott (a hamlett in Crudwell parish). Witnesses George Brown, Giles Hays.
Bride and groom signed their names – his is fairly similar in form to the signature on his 2nd marriage.
[So this would be marriage #3 for Henry. ]


So it would seem that Henry’s wife Ann Cox died young.
This burial would seem likely ….
18 June 1770 Anne Beale of Murcott. Burial in Hankerton parish.
No age recorded unfortunately.

[Neale1961]

There is a burial for Henry Beale on 7 May 1802 in Hankerton, age 81. No other detail recorded.

This leads to his baptism -
Henry Beale on 17 June 1720 at Crudwell.
Father Henry Beale, mother Ann.

Children of Henry Beale (senior) and Ann baptised in Crudwell:
Anne - bapt 1710
Sarah - bapt 1714
Mary - apt 1715
Alice - bapt 1718
Henry - bapt 1720
Female - bapt 1721, abode Murcott
(Note, that these dates are from the old calendar)

... My 4 x Great Granddad William George Beale B)1769, ....

I can see no evidence that his name was William George – only William. William had a son named William George born in 1799 India. Perhaps you are confused with him?

William Beale was buried in Madras on 25 Sept 1812
“The remains of Mr William Beale, Superintendent of Bazaars at Quinlon, who died on 25th Sept 1812 were decently interred and the funeral service of the Church of England read over them by me.  A Balmain.    M.B to the troops in Travancore”
