Joseph Broadstock has engendered interest, and two correspondents have provided extra material to add to this man's story.
The truth is so much more interesting than a blank page.

From on Tue, 8 May 2007
Hello Eliza
I have just started to trace my family history after the death of my mother a few years ago. My father and mother had spent some time collecting evidence and researching, however, the internet was in its infancy and would have made their lives so much easier.
I happened across your website which has some interesting information about the Broadstock's. As I mentioned, I am still in the early stages of research, however, in my father's family there is an old book (Culpepper's Herbal) which was rebound, and passed down the generations. On the cardboard that was used to rebind the book is some writing which is intriguing. Basically it gives the name and address of:
"Mr Joseph Broadstock, Parrier River, Salsbury, South Adelaide."
and then a slight variation:
"Mr Joseph Broadstock, Parar River Saslsburg, Near Adelaide South, Australia."
There is also reference to: "Thomas Archer, born 20 August 1816"
Another date of: "June 25th 1860" and "Aged 49? in the year 1865"
There is another name: Charles Haslow, Death at Bowden, South Adelaide
My Great-Grandmother was Sarah ARCHER born 20th October 1856 at Willenhall, Staffordshire, England.
Her mother was Rebekah BROADSTOCK and her father Thomas ARCHER (a furnace man)
I am awaiting the wedding certificate of Rebekah and Thomas to get Rebekah's father's name (that I suspect it is George & Jemima).
From census records I would "guess" that Rebecca was born circa 1820 in West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England.
Also in 1851 Jemima NOCK was the head of a family of BROADSTOCK's with an ARCHER grand-daughter...
On the 1861 census the ARCHER family appear in Willenhall, in Staffordshire with my great-grandmother (Sarah) aged 4.
On the 1871 census the ARCHER's are in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire, England with a nephew James BROADSTOCK born c1854 in West Bromwich. (I think the same James appears on 1861 census with at Matthew & Sarah Jane BROADSTOCK). N.B. Sarah Archer married my Grand-father George Edward BASTABLE in Barrow-in-Furness.
Additionally, my father also has photographs from approximately 1930 of the ARCHER family who visited England for several weeks. Dad does not really recall how they were related to his grandmother but I wonder if the Joseph BROADSTOCK in the book is the same as your Joseph? who was convicted and transported to Australia? The family connection then resulted in an ARCHER emigrating to Australia (this may be far fetched but hey!ho!). Perhaps Joseph was Rebekah's brother?
I hope I haven't confused you too much with this email, however, I thought I would give it a shot to see if we have a connection.
Thank you for your time.

From "Len & Joan" roses at werple whose email bounced 2007
I read with interest the info on your web page referring to Joseph Broadstock.
Joseph was my Great Grandfather.
Some years back I researched the family fairly comprehensively, but have not
kept up with what may have been found more recently.
I certainly have considerably more on him that appears on your page, (but
some of your info is new to me)
For example:
He first arrived in Melbourne aboard the 'Joshua Carol' in Feb 1840, after
his 7 years as a convict.
His Marriage certificate in Adelaide gives his bride's name as Mary Ann
Hamly (no Rebecca, no e in Hamly}
His Son? James is new to me. I had tentatively had him as the illegitimate?
son of his sister (whether Rebecca or Mary Ann I can't recall).
I understood George and Amos (my Grandfather) to be twins born in 1853.
His third wife?? (I don't think they married though anecdotally I understand
she called herself Mrs. Broadstock}
was I believe his housekeeper named Elizabeth Eaton.
Amos had 10 Children. The 2nd Child was William Joseph.
the 6th, Ellie Florence (there was no Hamley William)
7 Frank Amos (my father)
8 Harry Herbert
9 Albert Charles
10 Hilda May.

Joseph Broadstock 1813 - 1883, wed 1843 #4760 in Melbourne to Elizabeth Moss (only Victorian entry for this surname to 1888).
Joseph Broadstock first arrived in Melbourne aboard the 'Joshua Carol' in Feb 1840, after his 7 years as a convict.
James Broadstock arrived in Melbourne on the 'Swan' from Launceston, Tasmania on 18 Sep 1846, Port Phillip Herald Tuesday, September 22, 1846
Joseph left Melbourne - and seemingly Elizabeth - and is next heard of in Adelaide, South Australia, describing himself as a Batchelor and a Cattleman. He may have put his money into cattle and overlanded them to SA.
Joseph Broadstock aged 34 wed on 1848-02-16 to Mary Ann Hemley aged 18, [with other details unrecorded] - found in the SA Index lists
Mary Ann Broadstock nee Hamley 1826 - 26 Jun 1867 aged 40
He owned or was licensee of a number of hotels, was involved in a great
many land deals, figured prominently in the development of Salisbury, and was a J.P. -- not bad for an ex convict from a family of Nailers.

More details from: "Len & Joan"; "roses @ werple"; email now bounced, on Sat, 27 Sep 2003
The following is a short summary of what I know about Joseph.
He was born 1813 to George & Jemima Broadstock,of West Bromwich,
Staffordshire; and was a younger one of I think 10, The family was
recorded as 'living on the Heath' or 'from the heath' or similar. Their
occupation was given as 'nailers'. I understand this to be hand-making nails at
home as a cottage industry. (they listed the family down to about 7 as having
this occupation) In 1832 he came before the Stafford Assizes charged with
stealing and assault (amusingly, for some time, the abbreviations were
taken as 'stealing an ass' ) He was convicted and sentenced to 7 years
transportation and was transported on the Isabella; its sailing was
delayed for some weeks while an outbreak on board of cholera cleared.
My photocopy of the Tasmanian record is now badly faded but from memory there were
references things like 'disobediance', 'dumb insolence' and 'neglect of
orders', and a sentence of 4 days treadmill, and that he was not to be
sent again to Sandy bay because of bad connections made there. Feb 1840 he
is listed as being aboard the Joshua Carol (a 60 ton schooner) going to
Port Phillip. He does not appear in the Convict records in Melbourne; he may
well have had his name removed, I don't believe he could of done and achieved
the things he did in later life if it were known he was an ex-convict.
H. John Lewis in his "SALISBURY South Australia - A History of Town and
District" has him going "free" from SA to Port Phillip in 1842. In
1843 he married an Elizabth Moro? in St James Cathederal. (The printed records
say Moss but the signature on the Marriage certificate looks more like
Moro to me). In 1845/6 he was the owner of the 'British' hotel in Queen Street.
In 1847 the Pt Phillip directory lists him as a lodging house keeper Queen
Street; and - from memory - in another as Lodging house keeper,
Collingwood, I think he also had the "Travelers Rest" in that area.
In 1848 he surfaces in Adelaide marrying Mary Ann Hamley, describing
himself as a bachelor, and a Cattleman.
By inference I figure he probably sold the British Hotel, put his money
into cattle and overlanded them to Adelaide. What happened to Elizabeth? I
have no idea.
The Land Office records in Adelaide revealed over 250 land and property
transactions. He become quiet notable in the Histoy of Salisbury,
perhaps only second to John Harvey. He was associated with numerous early
hotels around Adelaide and had built the Govenor Mcdonnel Hotel in Salisbury;
was the Chairman of the Yatala North Council, and was involved in the
establishment of schools, church building committees and the like. He
was certainly a "go getter" with an eye to the best chance.
I would like to know what happened to Elizabeth Moro/Moss, and where
did he accumulate the funds to buy a Hotel in Queen Street. I don't know if my
Dad knew that Joseph was a convict, but I suspect he did; it was only by my
own research that I found out that there was a Joseph. Given the pride
South Australians took in being established without convicts, Joseph could
not have acheived so much if it were known he was an ex convict.
Your George by the way - if it is George son of Joseph - was my Grandfather Amos' twin brother.
I wish you luck with your research;
best regards, Charles T.(Len) Broadstock.

From on Mon, 8 Aug 2005
Subject: George Broadstock, Joseph, William
It was William Broadstock, son of George and brother of Joseph that was born in 1813.
I would like to know more about George and Jemima Broadstock as they would be my 4x' great grandparents.
William Broadstock, b. 1811, married Sarah Richards in 1842 at All
Saints. Their daughter, Jemima married John T. Olarenshaw and produced
three children: Jemima, Sarah (my maternal grandmother) and George. They migrated to the USA - John T. Olarenshaw went to the USA in 1880. The migration of Jemima Olarenshaw was 1891..
Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006
Greetings from Shirley Haas -
Please allow me to correct one error:
I've found the record that states Jemima Broadstock Olarenshaw and her three children migrated to the USA in 1891; John T. Olarenshaw went to the states in 1880 and called for Jemima to come.
By the way, Jemima, daughter of Wm. & Sarah Broadstock, died in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 11, 1912.
John T. Olarenshaw, son of Will & Eliz Olarensahw, died in Cincinnati, Ohio on May 17, 1908. I have received four newspaper articles from the Cincinnati Library on John T. No mention of Mima because the article was on John's death in 1908. He was the head of the Plumb Street Rescue Mission; he became an evangelist after 1880 and thereafter "saved souls".
Also, I learned that both William and Sarah Broadstock died in the Highfield Work House in West Bromwich.
William was age 84 when he died in June 1895 (V. 6b, Pg. 511); and Sarah, who was blind, was age 76 when she died in December, 1895 (V. 6b, Pg. 536).

Received Fri, 14 Feb 2003 from
Update on Broadstock Sun, 28 Nov 2004
The details recorded on the marriage certificate are:
Marriages in the District of Adelaide 1848, No 1066.
Trinity Church February 16
Joseph Broadstock 34 Cattleman Batchelor(??) - Mary Ann Hamly 18 spinster (note no e)
Minister James Farrell (or perhaps Farrett or Jarrett)
Signed Joseph Broadstock, & Mary Ann Hamly (X her mark)
& signed by Witnesses Nicholas Hamly & Elizabeth Hamly (X her mark)
---------------
I have tried to trace the origins of Mary Ann with no luck, - if anyone has any info
I would appreciate them advising me. A branch of the family believed Joseph to be
Cornish because of anecdotes about participation in Cornish festivals; this we know
to be wrong of course, but this & the name Hamly make a Cornish origin for Mary Ann likely,
Best regards C (Len) broadstock
-------------------
Using Graham Jaunay's H Passengers
HAMLEY: James - 12 Dec 1840 and wife
Hi Elizabeth
I am just wondering if you are still researching Joseph Broadstock ? as
a man I am helping has Joseph Broadstock as witness to the marriage of
his g g grandparents.
A John Gough and Sarah Bruce married in Melbourne on the 1st Dec 1846.
Joseph Broadstock and Mary Ann Johnson were the witnesses.
This is what I had located till I came to your website:-
the following is addressed to Mark Higgie, researching John Gough:-
Joseph Broadstock.
I could locate only one entry in the Vic BDM's pre 1888, that relates
to Joseph.
He married in 1843 in Melbourne (St James) to an Elizabeth Moss
(looks like Moro in handwriting), cert no 4760.
His marriage certificate was also filed in Sydney (no v1843 796
27c C/E St James) as Victoria then still belonged to NSW and we had to send
our returns back there.
So he is an early arrival in the Port Phillip district. I could locate
no children to him, nor death for either he or his wife pre 1888, nor
marriages. Only one entry in the Vic BDMs altogether.
I could locate no other information in NSW or Tasmania records.
I am sure that I have researched this man once before, for someone
else, and we had the same problem. I will see if I can find my original notes
(probably long gone though!)
He will, almost assuredly be, the same Joseph Broadstock who came to
Tasmania as a convict per Isabella
Convict Number 8188, Surname Broadstock, Given Name(s) Joseph
See Surname, See Given Name(s) Ship Name Isabella (1)
Departure Port - Plymouth, Departure Date 28/07/1833, Arrival Date 14/11/1833
Conduct Record CON31/5, Indent MM33/2, Description List, Muster Roll, Other Records, Appropriation List CON27/6
I ran a check of my own indexes (which I often forget to do) and found that Joseph Broadstock was a publican in Melbourne in 1844 ..a very good chance that is how he and Gough met.
Source: newspaper titled: The Melbourne Courier. (J.Fawcett collection)
edition date: Saturday Sept 21st 1844.
"Court of Petty Sessions. Saturday 14th Sept 1844.
Removals:
Joseph Broadstock, of the Derwent Wine Vaults, Collingwood,
to the premises formerly known as the New Town Hotel. The bench
would inspect the premises between then and Wednesday, but
would make no promises. "
This tells us that in Sept 1844 Broadstock was running the Derwent Wine
Vaults in Collingwood, and he was applying for a license for the New
Town Hotel.
I then checked the INDEX TO PUBLICANs, ARGUS Newspaper, by Marion
Button, and found the following (the date refers to the edition issue,
and any of these references might be for license renewals, transfers,
cancellations..so you would need to access the original papers)
Joseph Broadstock, Printers Arms. 27th Jan 1844
Derwent Wine Vaults New Town 7th May 1844
British Hotel. Queen St 26th Aug 1845
British Hotel. Queen St 10th April 1846, 7th July 1846, 16th July 1846
Travellers Rest, Collingwood 3 Nov 1846
I also checked the ELECTORAL ROLL INDEX by Marion Button
(again..the date refers to the Argus newspaper edition)
Joseph Broadstock Queen Street, Burk Ward 9th Sept 1845 - 25th June 1849
So from this we can easily see that Joseph Broadstock was a publican,
he resided from Sept 1845 - till at least 1849 in Queen Street in Melbourne.
Now..your John Gough might have been a customer/friend/serviceman to
the hotel..or a perfect stranger. I just don't know yet.
But I can tell you this...one didn't just arrive as a convict and then
end up with a reputable hotel by chance. He must have had a, or some, good
contacts somewhere.
I next checked the 1847 Port Phillip Postal Directories (Mouritz) and
found that Joseph Broadstsock was a lodging house keeper,
in Queens St.(Melb City Central)
There was no John Gough listed in this year (but that is not uncommon)
_____________________________________________________________________
all the best
