Morning Mary.
If you just use 'Kingsford' as your search item in Papers Past, limited to just the Auckland newspapers and the date range you mention, and no adverts, there are quite a number of hits for both a Mr and a Mrs KINGSFORD in the South Auckland area you mention. Particularly to do with Church matters, the fundraising for etc. There are also NZ coastal shipping mentions, though some of those give different Christian names or initials, but could be related.
Unfortunately as it is also a name associated with gold mining etc, there are a lot of unwanted hits unless the search critera is refined.
My family were in the area at the time you mention, but moved to the Waikato in 1906. However members like kiwihalfpint know the area, and from the open days at the Pukekohe East Church I know that there are others who may be able to assist.

PS
Would Montague KINGSFORD be related because he gets mentions? I have found references to a 6 page will relating to his death 29/5/1942. Also this is a surname with later history in the Cambridge area.
