Henry Way b 1842 Oxford England, married to Selina Helena Webster b 1848 . Did they emigate to New Zealand?

It appears that Henry Way died in NZ in 1902. Can't find any record that Selina Helena died in NZ. One daughter Louisa Mary Way is recorded as having died in NZ age 66 in 1953. That would give her a dob of 1887. But the Family tree info that popped up when I click on her name records that she was born years earlier.
Marriage Records indicate that Henry Way and Selina Helena Webster were married in Golcar,York, England on 17 Jan 1867. I may be missing a generation here.

Wow! a great big thank you to everyone who replied to this. I now have a wealth of amazingly detailed info to read and digest. Special thanks to Ngaredith for the information including the ships list that I'd been hunting for all over, without success. (I'd somehow picked up the information that the ship was the Wannington when in fact it was the Wennington - no wonder I couldn't find anything!!)
