Hello Sue and Jenn
So much to learn not least perils of making assumptions! Sorry we misread Caroline's birth cert entry, the 5 looks like a 6 in the year column, there is a much more distinct 1857 at the top of the page. So Christina was 33 at time of the birth.
We thought Caroline was only child because we could not find other matches, obviously we were not looking in the right places.
Christina may have died alone without family. Cause dysentery and exhaustion 3 months. Informant (??hard to read) T H Parsons, authorised agent. Parents not known. Married particulars not known. Witnesses to burial S A S Clowes and E H Weekes. Birthplace Queensferry Ireland (perhaps they were thinking of Queenstown in Ireland, a major emigrant port at that time).
Melbourne general cemetery very helpful, says she was buried in the Presbyterian section compartment K grave 706. This grave is a public unmarked grave and the section with a mixture of unmarked graves and headstones is clearly visible on Google Earth.
The three children were a good find, as is the Wm Geo Stephens in Bathurst. We too wondered about the gold rush. We're trying to find him in London before he left but birth regn did not begin until 1837, he might be in 1841 first national census as are the two sisters in Queensferry.

I thought it was odd myself: what I received was headed Historical Index Detailed Results as follows: Family Name STEPHENS Given name Ctina Sex: unknown Event: DEATH Father's name: unknown Mother's name: unknown Spouse's family name: blank Age: 78 Birth place: blank Death place: Melb E Registration yr: 1902 Registration No: 8317
We get similar printouts from sites in UK but they have much more detail. Maybe I have to buy image of this record? Maybe the certificate would have the extra detail? I expect the BMD office will have the answer in due course

Guess who has spent all day rooting around the sites you mentioned? Nice and sunny in Ireland this morning, we had a good walk but after that it was just one site after another.
I have emailed the cemetery asking if they can help find Christina and will post when I hear from them. I did indeed find Wentworth St on Google but No 22 has been replaced by what seems to be a block of flats. Your public records site is utterly brilliant - we found many McRitchies including Sqn Ldr Ian McR whom we knew about, my father being in the RAF himself during WWii. We found Charles Wild, Christina's grandson, he was only a little chap at 5ft6ins with 32in chest but he must have been ferocious as he won the Military Medal for routing an enemy post single-handed.
Thanks again for all you have done for us, you might like to see where we began with notes in the family Bible. The little X beside each girl's name has a note beneath: Jany 8th 1848, left for Australia.

Re-posted this on Australia site and within 24 hours Jenn and Sue found not only the two girls but also their children and grandchildren. Both lived to a ripe old age and I have even seen Margaret's grave in Geelong East cemetery courtesy Google Earth and the Cemetery Trust's excellent online map system.
Many thanks to everyone, not least this brilliant website.
