Sorry I've had no luck finding a passenger list 

There are several public trees on Anc*y and no passenger list for parents, birth or marriage certs and the only UK census mentioned 1861 / 1871

Picture of George’s sister Annie Elizabeth Hoskin bn1856 d1926 ,
her husband William John Lugg
pictures of 4 of their children
There’s this mention of their immigration - quote
"29 May 1875
Ship "Blair Gowrie" arrived Lyttelton 23 August 1875.
Only voyage this ship made to NZ.
This was the maiden voyage of this clipper ship., which had 430 government immigrants,
described as mostly West Country farm labourers.
Annie and Bill were married a few weeks before it left from London.
Perhaps Annie's parents were also on board."

Another tree mentions Jesse Hoskin married Sarah Keast in 1885 NZ there’s a family picture, 1886 they were resident Ellesmere, Canterbury, New Zealand

Death Date 29 Jan 1941

Here’s mention of death William 1903 & Elizabeth 1907

It appears George's brother Edwin James Hoskin may have married in NZ 1885 Christina HAY

The Private Baptism date 10th November 1878 St Keverne Cornwall

Emily age 16
Sidney age 14
George Lewis age 9
Lois age 5
Father William HOSKIN,  occ., Lab., mother Elizabeth abode The Downs

HOSKING, LOUISA    mmn   BRAY 
1874  S Quarter in HELSTON  Volume 05C  Page 211

Due to these children being baptised in Cornwall it's possible that immigration year could be late 1878 and before the 1885 marriage in NZ of their sons Jesse & Edwin

Do they name both parents on a NZ marriage cert. ?

1851 census could explain how they met.

Carnsellon, St Keverne HO107/1913 folio 127 pg 6
Stephen Roberts head unm 55 farmer of 55 acres employing 2 labourers
Charlotte sister 52
Elizabeth Bray 21 house servant
William Hosking 20 farm servant
all born St Keverne


 

[osprey]

think this is William in 1841

Coverack, St Keverne HO107/138/2 folio 22 pg 6
James Mildron 40
Grace 50
Wm Hoskin 10

the census is just after the couple's marriage on 27 May 1841

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01o2f/

The only William Hosking burial in St Keverne between 1831 and 1841 is for William aged 70 19 Dec 1834.Coud explain why William didn't remember him. Possible marriage 27 Aug 1809 for William Hosking of St Keverne and Grace Stapleton of Mullion

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01o2g/

The lack of father for Grace on 1841 marriage would fit with the St Keverne baptism 12 Dec 1790 for Grace Matthews Stapleton daughter of Elizabeth.
