Bale/Beale (General)
Hi
I have reached a brick wall whilst researching my family tree. My Great Great Grandfather was Tom Bale born in Lydbrook abt 1866. His mother was Sarah Ann Beale who later married William West. Unfortunately I cannot find any birth records for Tom and therefore cannot confirm the identity of his father.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks Paula
