Possible first marriage of Caroline Clara TAYLOR in Sept qtr 1873 to Jesse BOYD or John McGUIRE (St George Hanover Square, 1a 711)?

Ok so the NZ births were all to Caroline Clara BROWN, no father recorded. The clue was in Amy Gertrude's death, which showed mother as Caroline BROWN (not TAYLOR)...though I can't find her birth in NZ, I did find her siblings:

1879/16283 Herbert Alfred Brown
1880/11665 Isabel Lucy Brown
1883/13836 Caroline Florence Brown
1885/8491 Charles Philip Brown
1886/17545 Clara Alice Brown [died aged 7 weeks, 1886/455]

So sometime between 1886 and 1888, Caroline went to NZ...can't find marriage to Charles though. Was Brown an alias?
