Hi David,
Do you have the marriage certificate? It will almost certainly hold the names of both of her parents, and the father's occupation. Otherwise, a death certificate will have the same information, plus how long she's resided in NZ, where she was married + to whom (even though you know that part already). They don't mail out physical copies any more, so it's an even faster turnaround because they fire you an email with the pdf file. Absolutely worth it for the information that can be gleaned from it.
Otherwise, was just looking on Ancestry and there seem to be a couple of Sarah Ann Berryman's floating around Cornwall who were born between 1858 and 1863.

These three look like they belong together, but it won't be this lot, as the NZ BDM records say she was in NZ getting married before the 1881 census took place.
Otherwise there is this Sarah, which actually looks promising, as she does not appear on the 1881 census which matches the other family members;
