Esther Smith and Christopher Waugh married March 1/4 1862 Auckland Durham registration district as found already.
The only birth of a Christopher Waugh on GRO index 1839 +/- 2 is in Westmoreland. No mother's maiden name which indicates illegitimacy. This birth registration is confirmed by a Baptismal record where only the name of the mother - Ann is given.
As other's have said, you need that marriage certificate and even then he may have invented a father so as to appear legit.
A family story- (in your case -he told the family personally that he was born in Cornwall) does not always turn out to be true, as we all know. Christopher died in 1895, so how many generations has his story of being born in Cornwall, had to pass down through. He could have said he was born anywhere if he was wanting to cover his tracks.

24-03-2017, 2:50 AM #22My media item report tells me. Christopher Waugh was born 25 Oct 1839. entry no 2217
His parents are as I listed.
An entry is in Army Register Book of births and baptisms.
Rank of Father. - Private
ps He personally told his family that was where they were from. Cornwall.
Esther Smith was probably born in Cumberland about 1840, her parents were Walton and Margaret. And it is probable Christopher and Esther had a son named Walton, but perhaps you know all about Esther?
Name: Walton Waugh
Birth Date: 1867
Registration Place: New Zealand
Folio Number: 252
I'll await your reply re: Christopher, but unless you have his marriage certificate to Esther there is no way you can know who his parents were. Sorry for picking holes, but I'm concerned you are following the wrong ancestry, and that would be a lot of futile work invested.
This is a link to Esther's baptism. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N58C-YHL
And this could be a photo of Christopher and Esther, https://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz//tm/scho...Cycl0699d.html
I'll leave it now until you get back hereAlma

It looks to me like someone has confused Penrith in Cumberland with Penwith in Cornwall.
You might want to take a look at this family, the original looks more like WINSHELL to me:

Christopher, George and Mary seem to be the illegitimate children of Ann WAUGH but I don't have time to look for the others at the moment.

George Winskell seems to be with an Alice Whaffe and children Stephen, Jane and Christopher age 2 in 1841. No other sign of Whaffes. I wonder if Alice is actually Ann. There are baptisms of a Stephen and a Jane in Warcop and Appleby, parents Stephen and Ann Waugh, tho I can't see a marriage.
Stephen jnr I think marries in Auckland reg dist in 1857 and is a miner on the 1861 census
