I've looked up John & Jane Simcock/Sincock in South Australian Genealogy and so far I can't find anything about them. They didn't leave Adelaide for the countryside to farm and there's no blacksmith business listed for John, nor does William John marry in South Australia. I couldn't find them in the mining town of Broken Hill where lots of Simcock/Sincocks had stacks of children either (although John & Jane must have finished their family with William John as they were in their late 30s on arrival). I think they might have travelled to Victoria in search of work- there was still a goldrush there, whereas South Australia was settled into copper and tin mining (like Cornwall). Unfortunately even Australians can't access the Victorian BMDs without paying to look, so you'd need to use contacts or a facility like Ancestry to delve into Victorian records.
Sorry about the lack of success, but I did look hard!
Scratch the Victorians next!
Cheers

In search of Simcock/Sincock who ended up in Auckland New Zealand, producing my cousin, Alan Simcock about 1952. I don't know how we are related!
