The England (general) is often a good place to post if you know your family came from England, but you are not sure where. One of the mods may move it  :) (*)

Did he go to NZ with his parents? Do you Have their names or any other family names? There are a few possibilities on the 1891 Census, if he was in England at that time
One born Kent, two in Devon and one in Cornwall. This one is closest re Plymouth - no birthplace is given
