Description
DescriptionBorn at Lincolnshire, England in 1862, “JJ” Broughton was the second of Joseph and Mary Broughton’s seven children. Six were aged 10 and under when the family immigrated in 1871, the youngest died only one month after arriving. Two further children were born in Queensland, only 1 surviving beyond infancy. The young family first lived at Coalfalls, then later in Cribb Street. JJ began his working life in the late 1870’s initially as a cotton picker, then butcher, then learned carpentry for coach making at a couple of Ipswich businesses. He married Harriette Matilda Davis in 1882, who sadly died 7 months later.
In 1884 in partnership with FW Johnson he established the Ipswich Coach Works at the south west corner of Limestone & Ellenborough Streets. Two years later JJ married Eliza Elizabeth Wyman, at the Syntax Street house of her mother Sarah Wyman. JJ & Eliza had 3 daughters and 3 sons, and lived at Challinor St for many years. As the coachbuilding business prospered they lived c1905-1934 at “Rosemont” 19 Burnett St, with many relatives from their extended families living in the surrounding streets. They took regular seaside holidays at Southport on the Gold Coast, where JJ owned a holiday home from c1905, as did JJ’s brother-in-law William Kippen, owner and editor of the Queensland Times, who had married JJ’s elder sister Mary Ann in 1878.
JJ retired from coach building in 1914, only to reactivate the business in 1921 to be run by his 2 surviving sons, Harold and Arthur. He was an active member of the Central Methodist Church for 60 years and of the Ipswich Bowls Club for 20 years. Together with his brother-in-law Henry Wyman, JJ was also a member of the Western Star Lodge G.U.O.O.F. Eliza died in 1932 and JJ in 1938, they are buried at the Ipswich General Cemetery.
