Notes for Lemuel Broughton
Lemuel Broughton was born in Spixworth in 1846 and christened on 6th September 1846. He was the son of John Broughton (1809) and Mary Catherine Coe. In 1851 he was living at the forge at Lone Barn, near Spixworth. In 1861, Lemuel - listed as Samuel - Broughton, was living with his parents in North Infirmary Road, Norwich St. Clement and was a mat maker. In 1871, he was still with his parents and working as a basket maker. He married Emily Lucy Mingay, supposed to be the widow of Owen Murrell, in Yarmouth in 1874 – in fact she had been abandoned by Murrell, so the marriage was bigamous. In 1881, he was working as a basket maker in Thorn Lane in Norwich. In 1891 he was still working as a basket maker, at 88 Thorn Lane. In 1893, when his father died, Lemuel was present at the deathbed and was living at 45 Thorn Lane. He died in 1897 at the age of 50.
