:)  re:  I check with the records of Historical of Southland Education  board   held in Invercargill Public library in the next two days  to see if  your teacher is listed and what schools they may have teached at..   In General the records during the ww1 are very patchy.. John R

Re: Your problem of tracing the ships that Mary & John traveled out to NZ may be never be found.  To Get some idea of the this major problem   You must look at the history of N Z  and what was Happening in N Z at this period..  From the 1859  until 1870 was the period of Otago / central otago/ Southland Gold Rushes  that lead from the Australian Gold rush in  1850's...In this period we fine the following.
(1) Passengers lumped in Steerage and Not Listed at all.
(2) Ships listed with no passengers
(3) Govt Officials  over come with the Number of vessels arriving and their book work suffered  in 1857 Dunedin was visited by only 149 ships  in 1860 Dn alone was visited over 382 ships and that was not counting the other minor Ports in Otago or Southland.
 I would suggest you read the following books. written by Ian Church.
Otago infant Years .. Shipping arrivals and Departures  2002 or his lecture in   A Golden Opportunity Proceedings of NZ Society of Genealogists  2011...  John R
