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 careerBeale 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 activitiesBeale 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] References1. ^{{Rayment-hc|d|1|date=February 2018}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title=Samuel Beale|url=https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Samuel_Beale|website=Grace's Guide to British Industrial History|accessdate=6 February 2018}} 3. ^Andrew Rowley, Beale family in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, OUP online, 2004-12 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Transactions of the Unitarian Historical Society Supplement|url=http://www.unitarianhistory.org.uk/Unitarian%20Members%20of%20Parliament%20in%20the%20Nineteenth%20Century.pdf|website=Unitarian History|accessdate=6 February 2018|page=5|date=April 2009}} 5. ^{{cite book|editor1-last=Craig|editor1-first=F.
