"[born] October 4th. 1844. Baptized October 29th. No. 548. Emma Ann Daughter of, parents: Henry & Anna Maria, surname: Hall, abode: Seasalter, occupation: Labourer, ceremony performed by: Geog Fral. Dawson" - under heading 'Baptisms ... Seasalter ... 1845'
Gender Female Miscellaneous 15 Apr 1879 Faversham, Kent, England Present at / registered the death of Elisha Goatham - Emma was present at the death of her brother-in-law Elisha and registered it.
At the time she had 4 children under 10 and was some months pregnant; whilst one might think this might make her a surprising presence, perhaps the children could be left with a neighbour, while her pregnant state may have made her a good candidate to sit with her dying brother-in-law, while others had to work.
(Or maybe the family were taking it in turns, and it just happened to be Emma who was present, or it was obvious the end was near and all had gathered, and Emma was just best placed to register the death).
Also known as Emma Ann HALL Also known as Emma BEAL Died Dec 1926 Faversham Reg Dist, Kent, England - GRO ref: Goatham, Emma A q4 1926 Faversham RD 2a 1214 (aged 82); GRO online index shows Christian names as Emma Ann
The FreeBMD index gives the middle initial as A, GRO online index shows the 'A' stands for Ann and the same Emma in Faversham Cemetery register is Emma Ann. Not only do both give the right age for this Emma (82) but the Cemetery records her as "wife of Amos" so I'm sure it is this Emma.

"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.
