From sometime in the 1850s until his death on January 6th. 1889, James Beal was the Pastor at the Chapel or Church in the building in the centre of Lingfield, which is now known and used as the Lingfield Tandoori Restaurant. A wooden, knee-high signboard commemorating his life, was erected immediately in front of the building probably soon after his death, and although it has now gone, it was still in place as recently as the early 1950s, (when I photographed it) and maybe even later.
Both my late father and grandfather maintained that the Charman family, or my grandmothers family, Richardson, were related to James or his wife Amelia. I do not know what this relationship was, but having now inherited James' Will and Probate from my father and grandfather, I would like to find out more.
If someone has more depth of knowledge of James or Amelia and where they may have been buried, or of the Beal family tree, both before and after 1889, perhaps showing a Charman/Richardson connection, I would be pleased to hear from them.
