Biography

In Ernest's marriage notice, he is described as the only son of the late James Broadstock. On NSW BDM for his death in 1940 his parents are listed as James and Elizabeth. In his (blurry) death notice he is described as either 63 or 83. At 63 he is born 7 years before James and Elizabeth marry (but they would have been 21 & 20). At 83 he would be about the same age as James. (On james Henry's birth certificate it shows that Elizabeth was previously married and has a living son. So it's entirely possible that this is Ernest and he takes on the name Broadstock when Elizabeth and James marry.) In the Death Notice for William Henry Broadstock, he is described as being the uncle of Ernest and NSW BDM for Williams Death, lists William's Father as Amos. So whilst I have linked Ernest to James and Elizabeth, it is not 100% clear if this is correct.

William and Ernest were born 2 years apart and are both decended from George Broadstock and Jemima Moore (Great Grandparents), making them second cousins. Becker Street and Barton street are only a few block long and intersect each other. Despite these connections, there is no evidence that they know of each others existence.
