In reply to a request from Bob, James Beale's family went out from England
to join him on the Alaska from Liverpool and Queenstown, Cork arriving in
New York on 25th April 1892. James was already in the States somewhere and
had sent for the family to join him.

The family were:

Elizabeth Beale, age 37 [born 8th Dec 1854, Dymock, Gloucestershire]
Henry J Beale, age 13 [born 9th Oct 1879, Gloucester]
Louisa F Beale, age 11 [born 1878, Gloucester]
Master A(ndrew) Beale, age 8 [born 30th July 1881, Gloucester]
Wm Beale, age 7 [born 3rd June 1883, Gloucester]
Fred Beale, age 6 [born 23rd Dec 1884, Gloucester]
Ethel Beale, age 3 [born 21st March 1889, Gloucester]

We have no idea where James lived when he was in the States or where he
died, but would very much like to find out. We also have not found a record
of his death, but the family story was that he had died of a fever. The only
thing we know to help place the timing is that in 1900, the widow Elizabeth
Beale was back in England, in Gloucester, marrying her second husband.

Carpenter, wheelmaker James Beale was christened in Castlemorton (sometimes
written Castle Morton) Worcestershire, England on 12th August 1855.

If anybody has any ideas we would be extremely grateful.

Regards and thanks to all who have been trying to help us

Dennis
