Mary has several obituaries which only mention two daughters and a son living - Wm in WA. The two daughters would have both been born in Aus as their ages on their respective marriage registration indicate they were born c1858 and c1861 and their births were not registered or the registrations did not reach the SA registry.

Ah...Daughter Mary's obituary states she was born Wirrabara 30 May 1861

One of Mary's obituaries indicates they also lived in Victoria and I note the death of a Richard KRONCKE born Germany in 1865.  He was aged 33 years. Parents unknown.  Of course he may be no relation but is the only KRONCKE listed on the early indexes in that state.  The is a notice in a Vic Govt Gazette in 1867 regarding his estate at Digby. 

A few relevant snippets...and there are many more...

Are you basing your information
Quote
They were accompanied by sons Richard b. 1832, Johann Heinrich b. 1836 and 1 or 2 unnamed daughters all born in Germany
solely on the information found on the shipping records or do you have another source of information?  I can see no marriage or death for the unknown KRONCKE dau of Carl...and there aren't many records to search of that name in Aus ;D.

Cheers
Cando

Wow thanks for that Cando, that sure has give me something to wade through LOL.

EDIT: I always thought Carl died a pauper in the Destitute Asylum, being there in 1881 and 1883 but it seems his luck changed

I guess if you had his death registration you would have realised that something was amiss with the information that Carl died a pauper in the Destitute Asylum.  I find it's a good idea to enter the death reg numbers when recording your family history....it at least makes you check the indexes and not rely on other's research ;)

Death
KRONCKE Carl
4 Feb 1890  81 years  Status not recorded  Relative not recorded.
Residence Kooringa  Death Place Kooringa  Bur 183/376
