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.
Maggsie

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

Charlotte BROOKER's second marriage in South Australia:

Charlotte BROOKER
Father:    Daniel DAVES

Spouse:    Archibald MATHER
Spouse's Father: Joseph Birch MATHER

Marriage Date:    11 Feb 1890
Registered: Adelaide, South Australia
Pager: 441
Volume: 162

Cando should be able to provide further details of the marriage.

Charlotte MATHER's funeral notices:

THE FRIENDS of W. MARK BROOKER are respectfully informed that the Funeral of his late MOTHER (Mrs. Charlotte Mather), will leave his residence, 191, Gilles-st., on WEDNESDAY, at 4 p.m., for the West-terrace Cemetery.

MATHER - THE FRIENDS of Mr. A. MATHER are respectfully informed that the Funeral
of his late Wife (Charlotte), will leave his residence Gilles-street, on WEDNESDAY, at 4 p.m. for the West-terrace Cemetery.

Charlotte and Caroline DAVIS came to Tas in 1872 per Star Queen.

Parents of the two were Noah Paine DAVIS and Elsa nee WOODALL   

Sue

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.

I guess you could search through marriage images to check her age at marriage ...  needs patience  :)   https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2125029

     ii.                 Alice Maude Brooker was born 1877
     iii.                 Florence Gertrude Brooker was born 1888
 2. William Mark Brooker was born 1874 in South Australia and died 1966. He married Juliette Ann Johnson 31 May 1915 in the Church of Christ. Grote- Street by P. She died 1950, daughter of Olous Johnson.

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.
