BROADSTOCK FAMILY TREE
The
information below has been discovered through hard work by
several of my distant relatives, notably Len Broadstock,
Helen Bastable, Shirley Haas, Elizabeth Janson.
I have tried to make chronological sense of it all leading
to my own family here in Melbourne. There are many
inconsistencies in the records or because of the use of the
same name in different generations and branches of the
family. If there are more Broadstocks or relatives who have
information to add to, or clarify that given below, or if I
have misinterpreted any information please let me know.
I was surprised to discover that my great-great
grandfather, Joseph (father of George, father of Henry) was
a convict in Tasmania and an owner of several hotels in
Melbourne before starting the Broadstock line in South
Australia.
The earliest Broadstock was........
ROBERT

George Broadstock and Jemima’s children were christened at
All Saints, West Bromwich, Stafford, England. Her surname
does not appear in the 10 christening records.
Ten Children:
1. WILLIAM Broadstock

511),
Married
Sarah Richards
(b1813 according to marriage record) in September 1842 at
All Saints.
Christening
records are confused for Sarah: There is a christening
listed for a Sarah Richards at All Saints, West Bromwich,
Staffordshire on 19 Apr 1812 – but this cannot be the same
one if she was born 1813! Parents are James Richards and
Anne (maiden name not given).
ALSO a christening for a Sarah Richards, parents James and
Mary, listed at All Saints, West Bromwich, on 12 May 1816.
ALSO Sarah Richards christened All Saints, West Bromwich on
25 Apr 1819 to James and Anne. (Same as James and Anne? Did
the other Sarah b: 1812 die?)
Sarah
was blind when she died in December, 1895, age 76 (V. 6b,
Pg. 536).
Both William and Sarah Broadstock died in the Highfield
Work House in West Bromwich.

1827??
Married
John T. Olarenshaw in September 1837 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. John T. Olarenshaw, son of Will &
Eliz Olarensahw, died in Cincinnati, Ohio on May 17, 1908.
There are four newspaper articles from the Cincinnati
Library on John T. No mention of Jemima 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".
Jemima Broadstock Olarenshaw and her three children (Jemima
[married Riddiford – their daughter, also called Jemima
married Basil Pollitt], Sarah [married Thomas William
Ashforth from Birmingham], George) migrated to the USA in
1891; John T. Olarenshaw went to the states in 1880 and
called for Jemima to come. Jemima, daughter of William.
& Sarah Broadstock, died in Cincinnati, Ohio on April
11, 1912.
9.
JOHN Broadstock
Christening: 24 Apr 1831 (note 1861 census mentions a JOEL
not John who was 7)
10. MATTHEW Broadstock
12 Feb 1833 Christening: 18 Aug 1833
JOSEPH
1813-83
He was
born 1813 to George & Jemima Broadstock, of West
Bromwich, Staffordshire. 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.
Convict Number 8188, Surname Broadstock, Given Name(s)

Arrival Date 14/11/1833
Conduct Record CON31/5, Indent MM33/2, Description List,
Muster Roll, Other Records, Appropriation List CON27/6
On the Tasmanian record there are references to 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.
MELBOURNE, VICTORIA
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 have 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 Elizabeth Moro? in
St James Cathedral.
There is 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 (The
printed records say Moss but the signature on the Marriage
certificate looks more like Moro to me), 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. He is an early arrival in the Port Phillip district.
No children to him are located, nor death for either he or
his wife pre-1888, nor marriages. Only one entry in the Vic
BDMs altogether. No other information in NSW or Tasmania
records.
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 in Queen Street; and in another as
Lodging house keeper in Collingwood, Possibly he also had
the "Travelers Rest" in that area.
Joseph Broadstock was a publican in Melbourne in 1844
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. "
In Sept 1844 Broadstock was running the Derwent Wine Vaults
in Collingwood, and he was applying for a license for the
New Town Hotel.

edition):
Joseph Broadstock Queen Street, Burk Ward 9th Sept 1845 -
25th June 1849
He resided from Sept 1845 - till at least 1849 in Queen
Street in Melbourne.
.
The 1847
Port Phillip Postal Directories (Mouritz)
tells that Joseph Broadstsock was a lodging house keeper,
in Queens Street (Melb City Central).
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.
SOUTH
AUSTRALIA
In 1848
he surfaces in Adelaide marrying Mary Ann Hamly, describing
himself as a bachelor, and a Cattleman.
Did he sell the British Hotel and put his money into cattle
and overlanded them to Adelaide? What happened to Elizabeth
Moss/Moro?
The Land Office records in Adelaide revealed over 250 land
and property transactions. He become quiet notable in the
History 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.
Married
Mary Ann Hamly Feb 16,
1916
The details recorded on the marriage certificate are:
Marriages in the District of Adelaide 1848, No 1066.

He owned or was licensee of a number of hotels, was

the development of Salisbury, and was a J.P.
