I think Joseph Beasley married Elizabeth Beasley

Marriage added by Jan
3 Feb 1846 St Giles Rowley Regis
Joseph Beasley 25 bach agent of Smethwick Benjamin Beasley Iron Master
Elizabeth Beasley 23 spinster Rowley Regis Joseph Beasley
by License
Wit- William Beasley Priscilla Beasley

and Elizabeth died 1848 leaving Joseph Beasley and son James Griffin Beasley

Thus James Griffin Beasley then went to live with his grandparents on mothers side Joseph and Ann Eliza in 1861
Joseph Beasley who married Elizabeth had a father Benjamin Beasley who was brother of Joseph and also had brother William which all tied up with Cradley Links article.
Reverend Thomas Auden in wills of Ann Eliza and Joseph Beasley was brother of Ann Eliza Auden

Jo can you connect Joseph Beasley born 1821 who married Elizabeth Beasley born 1823 to Benjamin Beasley
and Elizabeth Beasley born 1823 to Joseph Beasley who married Ann Eliza Auden
As it is wrong at moment and too many Joseph Beasley born 1821

Jo , I think that confirms That Benjamin Beasley was father of Beasley Siblings Benjamin, Joseph, Mary, Frances
and that marriage to Rosanna Griffin was Joseph Beasley first marriage and daughter Elizabeth Beasley who married Joseph Beasley was daughter of first marriage
