I also have beale ancestor (William Henry Beale) arriving Australia in 1838??
Settled in Kiama district and ended up around mclean area.

I have tracked Beale back mid 1700's would be great to share info if applicable

Confirmed that
Major Beale married Elizabeth Saul in 1800 St. Johns Hackney, London. and had at least 10 children of which W.H.Beale was born 24th Sept. 1806.

Hope this may
