Hello Araminta,
I found the marriage of Elizabeth KNIGHTS to Joseph Pluckrose Beaumont FROST(as recorded) in the March quarter of 1855 at Ware(3a/127),on the Free BMD website.
The registration of Elizabeth Celestine Goodman FFROST in 1865 should possibly still have Elizabeth KNIGHTS as her mother,as her death in 1942 as Elizabeth Celestine Goodman ROGERS has her parents listed as Joseph Beaumont FFROST and Elizabeth KNIGHTS.
Ellen Jane and Eileen Jane are one and the same person(in the death notice in the NLA newspapers her name is transcribed as Eileen Jane,but should read Ellen Jane).
There is a digitised view of a will(Public Record Office,Victoria) for Joseph Pluckrose FFROST senior died 1887,which names two daughters Lucy Hart FFROST(died 1921 aged 78 at East Melbourne) and Celestine Fletcher FFROST.
Harriet Fiske FFROSH(as recorded)died 1886 Prahran aged 85.
What I can work out is that Joseph Pluckrose FROST(as recorded)married Harriet Fisk HART at Newport on the 5th of April 1830.
Two children baptised at Newport to Joseph and Harriet;
Joseph Pluckrose FROST baptised 25th of November 1832
Susannah Harriet FROST baptised 27th of October 1834
The above records can be viewed by typing joseph pluckrose frost into a google search,which will show his marriage,and by typing into a google search joseph pluckrose,it will show the two baptisms mentioned.
Joseph FROST(aged 22) and Elizabeth FROST(aged 21)arrived on the Sea King in 1855,then Joseph FROST(aged 47) and Harriet FROST(aged 46)arrived onthe Earl Grey in 1846,with children Celestine(aged 8),Christian aged 10)and Elizabeth(aged 12).
Celestine Fletcher FFROST was at Prahran in 1924,but Celestine Flectcher FROST was in Launceston in 1928.
Celestine Fletcher FROST was buried at Carr Villa Cemetery aged 79.(this would indicate she died in 1926,but age is definitely out,according to the Victorian immigration records).
