What is the name of the daughter?

Far too many John Stephenson's to search.
Specially when you aren't sure whether the wife is Elizabeth or Mary?

Thank you
we arnt sure of the other children's names. we know of a few born in new zealand before they moved to australia.
the sarah you have listed is aged  3
on the nz register our sarah was born in 1881 so this may be the family. thank you for giving us a bit more to work by. i will pass this information on and see what we can come up with from there.
we dont know if they went back to the uk  or how often they did.

I did say it was the best I could find! ;D

But that was based on Sarah being born c1879 - as you said in reply #2?
Now you are saying she was born in 1881?

When did the family emigrate?
Are we likely to see them in the England 1891 census?
