there was a William (aged 31, birth year c1843) & Catherine Blackwell (aged 35, birth year c1839) from Warwickshire on the 'Peeress' arrived into Lyttelton 22 July 1874
If you confirm this is who you are looking for I can do some research

The earliest name I have is George Blackwell c 1843 Gloucestshire, England. He was married to Mary Anne Poole 1841-1871, 3 children Anne 1867, Mary Ann 1871-1871, Arthur Willis 1869.
George and 2 remaining children came to New Zealand on Scimitar 1873.
