Name Osborn Beal HALL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Jun Q 1849 Blean Reg Dist, Kent, England
- GRO ref: HALL, Osborn Beal q2 1849 Blean RD 5 36; GRO online index does not show a mother's maiden name

- GRO ref: Hall, Ann Maria Beal q2 1849 Blean RD 5 23
I am guessing that an error was made in the death registration index, or possibly on the cert itself, and that this should show Osborn Beal Hall. Ann(a) Maria was quite likely the informant.
Osborn is not with his mother at the time of the 1851 census, and there si no birth registration of an Ann Maria Beal HALL.

"1860. Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Seasalter in the County of Kent
No. 140, When Married: March 8 1860,
Henry Beal, aged 41, Bachelor, occupation: Mariner, residence at time of Marriage: Seasalter, father: Robert Beal, occupation: Publican;
Mary Ann Hall, aged 37, Spinster, occupation: -, residence at time of Marriage: Seasalter, father: James Hall, occupation: Mariner;
Married in the Parish Church according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church after Banns by me, J. Dodd
This Marriage Henry Beal in the John Horses[?]
was solemnized Mary Ann Hall x her mark Presence Mary Ann Cooper x her mark
between us, of us, "
Although the entry shows Mary Ann I believe it was Anna Maria. Before this date there is no evidence of Anna Maria passing herself off as a Beal, after this she consistently uses the surname Beal. Shown simply as 'Ann', which could be Anna Maria or a Mary Ann, it appears to be her with Henry in the 1861 census, as a daughter with age and birthplace matching her daughter Emily is with them.
Also, the marriage shows her father as a seaman called James, which fits with the baptism details of Anna Maria.
Finally, it would be a bit of a coincidence if after having children with Anna Maria Hall for years Henry decided to marry someone else - and that other person had the similar name Mary Ann Hall.
There is also a discrepancy in the age, but within the age given in other places, and the 1861 where Henry and 'Ann' are together shows her as older.
