Looking for any information re the immigration and birth of
Charles and Jane Suffolk (Nee Stephens)
They married March quarter 1862 Bethnal Green, London
Their first daughter Emily Louisa born 23 Sep 1862 Middlesex, England
Their first son William 1864 Middlesex, England
Son George 1866 Middlesex, England
Then daughter Ada born 1871 Victoria
Son Frank born 1875 Victoria
Then daughter Maggie 1878 Adelaide
Lilly May 1880 Adelaide
Jane died 11 June 1893 but the death notes says they have only been in Adelaide 3 weeks so I guess they came and went
Charles died 25 January 1906 aged 74 again buried West Terrace
I can't seem to find a birth or bapt for either or the Ship they may have arrived on....

Well, as it turned out, you wondered correctly.
There was a link and your summary above is correct.
No doubt there is more be found on the relationships between the HOMES and STEPHENS families, but perhaps most of your initial queries have been answered at this stage. ;D ;D
For your interest...
Richard HOMES arriving in Victoria with wife Louisa (nee STEPHENS) and his child Richard, had parents Richard HOMES and Jane SPEARMAN according to my marriage, census and GRO searches.
