	James Beale was born at Wivelsfield in [[Sussex]], and according to Beale family tradition, was a “caravan-dweller” until settling at Hamstreet, Kent, on the edge of Romney Marsh - most likely by 1870. In the 1901 Census he is shown as living at an unnumbered dwelling on the Ruckinge Road, Hamstreet, and is listed as a Wood and Timber Dealer, working on his own account (Kelly’s Directory for 1903 records him as a poulterer, but no doubt he turned his hand to a variety of work). Living with him were his wife Charlotte and four grown-up sons – including [[Albert Beale]], then 25, whom [[Peter Kennedy]] would record in the 1950s. From earlier Census records it appears that James had eleven children in all; Albert recalled that his mother used to lead the choir in Hamstreet Chapel, and that there had been ten family members in the choir at one time.
