A "possible" from the 1881 Census ?:
I cannot find any Cheltenham births abt 1850 to match this record, on FreeBMD or Glos BMD. I suggest he may have adjusted his birthplace as a Cheltenham address would better "suit" a tailor in affluent & fashionable Brighton.

name: A Beall
age: 30
gender: Male
birth year: 1851
birthplace: Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England

Household Gender Age Birthplace

(Having said this, my use of the Ancestry Search pages for clues shows there are a fair few Beales in the London & Sussex areas so no proof of course, just a suggestion for future possible research)

Searching Alfred's birth & parents,
From Glos BMD, a possible Marriage:
