19 respectively. John Joyce died on 22nd December 1855, leaving Sarah as a young 26 year old widow with 2 young children. Ann died at one year old in 1856. However John Joyce had been a shrewd businessman, and at his death he left to his wife 3 allotmentsofland, oneinCollingwood, oneatLyndhurstandoneatBraybrook, being carefultoensurethattheseweretobethepersonalpropertyofhiswife, independently of any future husband, and independent of any debts that husband might contract. He also left her in his will, his horse and dray and all other goods and chattels for her own use absolutely. On 16th June 1858, Sarah Joyce, now living in Collingwood, married a Charles Cupit, a 33 year old Baker from Wandsworth in Surrey, England, again at St. Peter’s Church of England, East Melbourne, and they moved to 56 Queen Street, West Melbourne. They had three children, Sarah, born in 1859, George born in 1861 and Charles William, born in 1863. Meanwhile, Sarah Jane Joyce died in 1861. On April 22nd 1869, Charles Cupit died in turn, and on 24th May 1871, the now 33 years old Sarah married a 51 year old widower of 14 years, John Henry Broughton, previously married to a Mary Johnstone, with whom he had had two deceased children. They married at the Independent Church in Collins Street. John Henry was a prosperous leather merchant and shoe manufacturer at 335 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, opposite St Francis Church. She and her husband lived at 2 Union Street, Richmond, a house owned by her, where they had two children Ada Florence and Alfred James, born in 1872 and 1874 respectively. On 7th April 1894, Sarah Broughton died, aged 60, and was buried on 9th April at Booroondara Cemetery in Kew. She had appointed the two sons of her previous marriage, George and Charles William Cupit, as executors to her will. It appears that the leather business in Lonsdale Street belonged to her and not her husband, although in his obituary, when he died in 1903, he received the credit for it. She left the house in Richmond to her two daughters, and a life interest in a property in Bridge Road, Richmond to her husband, and upon his death to their son Alfred James. The leather business was to be inherited by all three sons equally. She had been as shrewd as a businesswoman as her first husband John Joyce, and presumably, had financed her husband in his business. Her husband, John Henry Broughton died on 28th May 1903 at the age of 83, after 53 years in Australia. He was reported to have commenced his leather business 48 yearsearlier, in1855, inRichmond, afterafewyearsatthediggings, takingadvantage of the shortage of skilled leather-workers during the gold-rush.
