On the 1861 Emily aged 7 Months is listed as the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Hibbert living at Ashton Rd Openshaw also listed as family are Ellis Hibbert aged 6 Charles Hibbert aged 4 Mary Ellen aged 2. >From the naming patterns of the children born in Australia I would think this was actually Emily's family On the 1861 living at 5 Leigh St Openshaw there is a probable match for the Monks family.
