@Emyr, I couldn't find 14g plain gauge spokes on the Cyclebasket web site.
@gbj_tester, thanks I'll probably go for stainless steel in that case.
My plan was to fix up and true the wheel using a couple of spokes like the existing ones, and then ride it while I learn about how to do a complete rebuild. I have a Park Tool TM-1 spoke tension meter so I can at least look for anything pathological in the spoke tensions.

25p each for those ^ inc 12mm nipple. £6.50 postage, so total for 72 spokes is under £25.
They're closed on Wednesdays.
If you've started breaking spokes without some kind of collision/impact, the remaining spokes are suspect.
