The Marriage record for Margaret Jane FLETCHER names her father as James, and the Assisted Immigration Index has the following FLETCHER family.

Official assisted passenger lists, 1864
Surname Year First Name/List No.
Fletcher 1864 James 64/7 (2) [father & son]
Fletcher 1864 Janet 64/7
Fletcher 1864 Isabella 64/7
Fletcher 1864 Margaret 64/7
Fletcher 1864 Eliza 64/7
Fletcher 1864 William 64/7

This is the corresponding entry in BISA.
FLETCHER James b: 1822 AYR SCT arr: 1864 TARQUIN occ: Painter
m: Janet b: 1831 ch: Isabella (1854-), Mgt (1856-), Jas (1858-), Eliza (1860-), Wm (1862-)

Two more children were born in SA that gives the mother's name as Janet RAMSAY. Your Margaret Jane FLETCHER was born c1856 so I believe this is most likely the family.
