Best to confirm exactly when daughter Jane was born in New Zealand as the following extracts are on Family Search-
Marriage of James Graham (father David) & Sarah Speer (father Nathaniel) on 3 Dec.1868 Londonderry registration district-
   https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGZ4-PY1

Birth of son William  24 Nov.1871
   https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FPYZ-SBY
Birth of son James 3 June 1873
   https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGH5-85J

The actual birth record for William gives the address as Rosemount in the City and father's occupation as carpenter-

James' birth shows same details-
