John had a previous marriage in Manchester England in about 1837.
John Brougham was born c. 1809-11 of Edward and Mary (nee Knowles)Brougham in Co. Kildare Ireland. On 28 Sep 1834 at St. Michaels All Saints Church Ashton-under-Lyne, Manchester England he married Maria Hughes who was born c. 1809 -10. Two children were born of this marriage. James c.1835 and John 1838.
These dates were deduced from the shipping papers of the 'Martha Ridgeway'.
On the 12 Oct 1841 the Broughams filed application no. 4377 to the New Zealand Company to emigrate to New Zealand .This application was made from their home in Hyde Lane Cheshire. Their application was successful and they set sail on the Martha Ridgeway on the 6 Nov. 1841 from Liverpool. John's occupation was given as labourer.(ref. NZ Co. Passenger List NZCo 34/5 page 216a.) These records are held by National archives Wellington.
The 'Martha Ridgeway berthed at Nelson Haven on 7th Apr 1842 after an uneventful journey except for an outbreak of dysentery which claimed the lives of four adults and seven of the ninety nine children on board. One of these children was their youngest child John as no records of him exist from that date onwards.
The first official mention of the Broughams in New Zealand was a reference in the 'Nelson Examiner' in early 1844 that John Brougham of section 204 Moutere Bluffs Motueka was on the annual jury list. His name appeared on this list until 1855 when Motueka was no longer listed in the Nelson Jury district '. On the 5 June 1844 John signed a petition to the Governor General asking not to avenge the deaths at the Wairau massacre and his name did not appear among those who volunteered to chase and try to capture Te Rauparaha.
On the 30 Oct 1845 Johns' first wife Maria then aged 34 died and was the first person buried in St. Thomas' Anglican church in Motueka. This record is held in office of the Bishop of Nelson .
On 2nd Feb 1847 John married Maria Emily Franklin aged 22 who was born in London, and was the second daughter of Benjamin and Mary Ann (nee Godsall) Franklin. Benjamin died in 1833 . Mary Ann remarried to Richard Maund on the 5 Jun 1836, there were no children to this marriage.
Mary Ann Maund along with her two daughters Sarah Ann, Maria Emily and sons Robert 13 Thomas 11 and Alexander 9. all sailed on the notorious 'Lloyds' leaving from Gravesend on the 11 Sept 1841 and arriving at Nelson Haven on the 22 Feb 1842. These were all Benjamin Franklins' children.
Richard sailed earlier on the 'Whitby' as part of an exploration group some four months earlier.
John and Maria Brougham had their first child Edward in 1848 followed on 9 Dec 1849 by another son Thomas Godsall, Charles John 1851 Henry 1853 and Graham 1856 and their only daughter Emily Sarah in 1861.
On 21st Apr 1849 according to the 'Nelson Examiner' John was one of the many who signed a petition to Parliament regarding the settlers Entitlement to Properties Bill. This Bill was to try and obtain title to the land they had earlier purchased from the New Zealand Company. Details of John Brougham, and his family are contained in a copy NZCo.1849 census of the Nelson province.
In 1853 John was one of the nominees for Mr C Parker to represent Motueka on the Nelson Provincial council- Parker was successful.
On 4th Apr 1855 the Crown grant in favour John Brougham was ready for issue. This was as a result of the petition on 21 Apr 1849
Death notice in "THE COLONIST''Nelson 10 Feb 1898 Death of an old settler.
John Brougham who came to the colony on the 'Martha Ridgeway landed in Nelson in the early part of 1842 and in common with other settlers had to endure many hardships and struggles in the early history of the settlement. He was naturally a kind hearted man and always lived a retired and quiet life but did not make himself prominent in taking part in public matters but by his straight forward and honorable dealings he gained the respect of all he came in contact with
Many years ago he became partially disabled through an accident and consequently was unable afterwards to cope with the struggles of life as formerly'. He joined the Oddfellows Society in Richmond prior to the Motueka Lodge being formed, but after the formation he withdrew and became a member at Mote.
His remains will be interred in the old cemetery on Thurs 10 inset; He leaves six sons ,one daughter and about 80 grandchildren.
Johns' headstone rests in the Early Settlers Park in Thorpe St. Motueka

Thomas 11 was listed as a passenger but according to the shipping papers held at NZ Archives Wellington he is not shown so we must assume he was one of the many of the unfortunte children to die at sea. For history on the sailing of the "Lloyds"see "Landfall Nelson" by June E. Neale.
Following the death of her husband Benjamin Franklin in 1833 Marias' mother remarried in 1836 to Richard Maund who had sailed on 'Whitby' as one of a survey party 4-5 months ahead of the main body of immigrants. Some months after there arrival they made there way to the Motuaka (Motueka) area and settled in the Moutere. Maria Emily was employed as ladies help to Mrs Greenwood in Motueka.
John Brougham who had sailed on the "Martha Ridgeway"with his first wife Maria (Hughes) and two sons John and James had also settled in the same area. Maria died 3 years after their arrival in 1845, and on the 2nd Feb 1847 John aged 35 married Maria Emily Franklin aged 21.
One can only wonder on the hardships these people endured starting out with very little in the way of home comforts and on land that at best could be described of poor quality,and mostly of a swampy nature.
Maria must have been a popular and friendly person (as described by her son Thomas Godsall) as her home became a half-way house for travellers between Riwaka and Motueka. John ran the place as an Inn and according to records was unlicensed to sell liquor.-(---and so it began issue of Motueka Historical Society)
John and Maria had 5 sons and a daughter- Edward -Thomas Godsall- John Charles- Henry- Graham- and Emily Sarah. All these children attended the new school at Lower Moutere.
In later years Maria Emily became crippled after a gander had attacked her and she would spend her days making quilts.(see Ida Jessie Maria Fry recollections)
Maria Emily died on the 10 Oct 1893 and was buried at St Thomas' church yard in Nelson.
NZ Reg. Gen. Registration.
Edward the eldest son of John and Maria (Franklin) remained a bachelor all his life .My aunt Mrs Maisie Smith (Brougham) remembers Great uncle Ned as an old man with a long white beard,he didn't work on the farm or any of the land holdings but managed an orchard .He lived with people called Bates all his life and all his possessions went to them when he died. Photographs showing Edward with the Bates are on the tree.
Thomas Godsall wrote that he and his elder brother used to walk to Ngatimoti to fell trees. Do that today in a modern vehicle, it's quite a walk!
Edward attended school at Lower Moutere and a copy of the schools earliest register showed that all brothers were there at the same time (with the exception of James, son of John's first marriage who would have been 20 by the time the school was established.). Graham his youngest sibling born 1856 being in attendance and assuming he commenced school at 5 yrs at the earliest age would mean that Edward was there at 13, which was leaving age for some in those days.
Very little is known about Edward which is a great shame though my father Robert Archibald Claude remembered him as a kind and good old gent but one who drank like a fish and liked his gin .One amusing incident recalled by his grand niece Mrs Olive Sperry has Edward stepping off the bus after a session in Motueka only to trip over and fall into the scrub at the roadside still with the gin bottle intact. He called out to one of his nephews 'aw Teddy your poor old uncle's had a fit'! Gi'm a hand will ye'.
Edward died 15 Aug 1937 as is buried in the older part of the Motueka cemetery.
B Have been unable to locate a record of Alexander's birth. He was born in England. He was 9 years old when they sailed to New Zealand. He shows parents as being Maund and Mary Ann, as well.
