Hi,
Have you seen the actual ship record book?
Maggsie

Yes thank you I was sent a copy by a member and looked it up myself.

Ok, So you know they came from Staffordshire.
By using this area, I have found them in the 1861 and 1871 Census.
Their father was David and the Mother was Caroline.
I have saved all the info.
If you can Private Message me with your email address I will send the info on to you.

Hi Geoff,
I have just moved your post because it had been posted in the wrong place - I hope I have it correct as it did not understand from your posting what you were asking for help with ?
I have added some more detail to your title, it is especially helpful to you and us if you can add a bit more information to your headings to include the "person name" and geographical area. This way you can easily locate and update what research you have done already.
Regards
Sarah

Geoff,
We have some well-resourced helpers on Australian Rootschat.
I notice from many of your previous posts that some do not get much response.
It is because you are just pasting slabs of disjointed information.
You need to define where these slabs of disjointed information fit in with exactly what you are seeking.
What do you know and what do you want to know?
My understanding of this current request.
Charlotte and Caroline DAVIS came to Tas in 1872 per Star Queen.
Parents of the two were Noah Paine DAVIS and Elsa nee WOODALL Charlotte DAVI(E)S married Mark BROOKER in 1873 in Tas. and there were children and you have some details of one son, William Mark BROOKER.
Charlotte BROOKER died in Tas in 1914.
You would like to know what became of Caroline DAVIS.
Also of interest are the witnesses on the certificate of marriage of Charlotte DAVIS to Mark BROOKER. Names William BRAY and Charlotte DRURY.
Do I have it correct?

I am seeing the witnesses names to be Charlotte DRURY (her mark) and William DRURY (his mark)
married at the home of William DRURY Forth
(Forth would be the location)
There is a marriage for Charlotte ATTWOOD and William DRURY, 1856, on Tasmanian BDM index online.

I agree, the surnames of the witnesses are DRURY at the home of DRURY.

Maggsie
Their father was Daniel. It does look a bit like David in the 1861 but it is actually Daniel.

I think we have before been through the idea that thie Charlotte and Caroline on the Star Queen are better suited in age to the daughters of Daniel and Caroline.

I can rule out the marriage of a Caroline Louisa DAVIS to Robert LITTLEJOHN in 1884.
Caroline LITTLEJOHN died in 1958 at age 95 and is buried at Carr Villa Cemetery with her husband Robert so she is wrong age.
http://www.launceston.tas.gov.au/lcc/index.php?c=30&burial_record=67744
I guess you could search through marriage images to check her age at marriage ... needs patience :) https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2125029

These births are from the Victorian Index.
It seems to me unlikely that this Florence was the child of your couple especially as you have not said where you think the child was born.

Using Unassisted passengers arriving "Star Queen" Sep 1872 Victoria......
DAVIES Caroline 20 years, DAVIES Charlotte 16 years.
Ships master is David DAVIES..........ordinary name but interesting to see.
Only twenty names.
Did this ship go into a Tasmanian port?
-
Name of person who application sent out was Charlotte Drury, so likely both arrived for employment. Witness at Charlotte Marriage and from that home.
No details on Caroline.
