The Manning Index of SA Place names doesn't include Stephen's Dale.  I have also searched other resources for early place names with no result.

Thankyou Cando.

I too have sniffed around. I have put in a request to the Burnside City Council - Local History secion of the library. Hopefully they may know.

I contacted the Burnside City Council Library and their Local History section advised;

“I can find no record of a locality called Stephen’s Dale in Burnside. The closest is Stevenson’s Gardens, more commonly known as Leawood Gardens. This was a nursery established by George Stevenson in about 1844 (perhaps slightly earlier), and was located near the acute bend in the Mount Barker road called the Devil’s Elbow. This is the only locality in Burnside with a name anything like Stephen’s Dale. Stevenson’s Gardens was very near Glen Osmond, but it is far from conclusive.”

As a note, they mention Devil’s Elbow. They are referring to the original Devil’s Elbow, on the Old Mount Barker Road. Leadwood Gardens was consumed when they created the replacement Mount Barker Road and the name Devil’s Elbow was then reused further down the road.

You can find Leawood Gardens on Google Maps by searching for “Leawood Gardens, SA”

I have had success and now know that Mary Ann SPENCER arrived as well.

That means 4 girls arrived;
Sarah bapt 1827
Harriet bapt. 1828 &
Maria bapt.1834
Mary Ann SPENCER bapt 11 Jul 1830

Eliza SPENCER bapt 25 Dec 1832 & Joseph SPENCER bapt 29 Jul 1837 did not appear in the S.A. 1841 Census.

The advertiser 6 Mar 1917 lists the obituary of James HENEKER where it mentions that on the 18th Dec 1849, he married Mary Ann, daughter of Mr Joseph SPENCER. Somehow I just missed their married entry.
