47.1 Siblings of Alfred Beale

John and Mary Beale had twelve children in Cawnpore (Kanpur). Their children were Alfred and his siblings.

• 47.1.1 - Robert William Beale (1826-1912)
• Entered military service in 1843 as an apothecary in the East India Co. European Army, which may indicate the Beales at this time were not Anglo-India
• Married Sophia Eleanor Connors (1846) in Amballa, (now Ambala, Haryana) in 1864. 
• Ambala was only established three years earlier after the British were forced to leave its Karnal Cantonment following the malaria epidemic of 1841–42. There was no effective control for malaria at the time.
