Hi
all I have is the name john beale...he was born abt 1821..

his wife margaret was abt 14 years older than him he named his son john and daughter sarah.
john jnr named his daughter sarah as well so I assume that is a family name. also he named his son john as well.
they both named a child francis/frances as well
