}}Samuel Beale (4 June 1803 – 11 September 1874)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician, banker and industrialist.[2]

Early life

Beale was born in Birmingham in 1803 to William and Sarah and, in 1823, married Emma Butcher, daughter of Unitarian minister Edmund Butcher.[3] At some point this marriage ended, and he remarried to a Mary. He had at least two sons, William Lansdowne (born 1828–29) and Arthur, and two daughters.[2] He was also the uncle of William Beale, a barrister and fellow Liberal politician.[3]

In early life he was a glass and lead merchant before, in 1836, founded the Birmingham and Midland Bank.[2] He also became Director of Union Bank UK.[4]

In 1844, he became Chairman of the Midland Railway, a post he held for 20 years, and in 1849 a Justice of the Peace for Birmingham. In 1853, he was an ironmaster and partner in the Park Gate Iron and Steel Company.[2]

Political career

Beale started his career in politics in 1841 when he was named as Mayor of Birmingham, and became one of the town's first councillors.[2]

Beale was elected MP for Derby in 1857 and held the seat until 1865.[5]

Unitarian activities

Beale was an active unitarian follower, becoming a Member of Church of the Messiah, Birmingham and vice-president of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association. During the 1857 general election, which he was contending, Beale attended a service despite being warned that he would lose if he did so.[4]
