You probably have this baptism, which shows they were still in England in early July 1856.

As the obit, which was most likely to have been written by Caroline's family has them arriving later in 1856, this is probably correct. I believe there are shipping records missing and if the Public Record office doesn't have them online, and you can't find them using versions of BRICKNELL, it might be worth contacting them to ask about known missing records.
In genealogical terms this family are known as "swimmers"
