There is a 1892 NZ marriage as follows, but no children to this couple found in NZ records.

Clara would have been around 36 when married. Have not found any ancestry trees for a Henry Holmes who married a Clara Coker in NZ in 1892.
However, when her husband died in 1894, the informant was Clara's brother, Alfred, who'd also emigrated to NZ.
