This could be your Bates :

1881 - Nathaniel is a farmer in Riverton the Electorate being Wallace - looks like he was Freehold on Section 17, Block 12 in Riverton.  

1893 & 1896 -  if this is the same Chap, he has changed occupation to that of a Blacksmith, again the Electorate is Wallace, place of residence is Wairio.

There is also a Nathaniel Jnr living at Wairio who is also a Blacksmith in 1881.

No sign of Olive in the 1896 roll.

More on the Nathaniel Bates that KHP mention http://www.reocities.com/Heartland/Flats/2366/grandad.html there is a contact email at the top of the site. It says he has had 27 children three Maori wives, were your Cook maori or part Maori?
