Name Henry Robert BEAL Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 28 Jun 1819 Whitstable, Kent, England - From baptism register.
Although most sources (censues, marriage PR entry, death registration) show Henry as slightly older (varously suggesting born 1814-5 to 1818-early 1819) not only is this the only birth / baptism I have found to fit, but more importantly the father's name and occupation match those given by Henry when he married, so I am confident that this is the right birth.

PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 2 Jan 2015)
"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.
