Here is one definite newspaper article about Joseph LEE and his first wife Sarah who married 1850:
South Australian Register (Adelaide, SA : 1839 - 1900) Saturday 22 March 1851

Joseph Lee appeared to the complaint of his wife, Sarah Lee, for beating and otherwise ill-using her. A quarrel had arisen respecting the price of some liquor that had been sent for in her house (a house of ill-fame) by some male acquaintance who had come in. The prisoner denied the entire charge. The woman was a lunatic, well known as an habitual drunkard; and in the habit of being seen drunk about the streets. He thought it very hard that he should have to answer for the bruises she got in these brawls. The prosecutrix not producing any witnesses, the Magistrate dismissed the case.
...There was another Joseph Lee born about 1818 getting into trouble and a guy always drunk - not sure if they are the same person or not....the name Joseph LEE only appears in the South Australian papers from 1847 - through to 1851 as far as I can see

It looks like Anna DRAPER arrived 1850:

Adelaide Observer (SA : 1843 - 1904) Saturday 21 December 1850

Tuesday, December 17-The barque Andromache, 4G8 tons, Passmore, master, from London 4th September, and Plymouth 11th September. Passengers-For Adelaide and Port Phillip:
George Healing and wife, A. Browne wife and child. Anna Draper, John Weller and others

So Joseph must have met her in Adelaide and eloped with her to Melbourne sometime after the above court case...the children were born 1852 & 1855
