There's no Thomas Brooks living in Somerset born 1811 in the 1841 census. Even if there was how do we know it's the Thomas who emigrated?
Joseph was born after the 1841 census and emigrated before the 1851 census
There are c 50 Joseph Brooks born in England in 1844 +/-1. Bear in mind also that in the early days of civil registration many births weren't registered.
The IGI shows only 2 Joseph Brooks baptisms in England in 1844 +/-1 with a father Thomas, but neither were anywhere near Somerset.
Give us a hand to help you! You're asking the impossible without further information. Presumably there were other family members who went to Australia in 1847. Who were they and what were their ages?
