Yes i can see NR - this could mean either they had an affair during his trips up river and later married or he adopted him as his own. Ill do some more research . An affair is possible as The Wanganui - Pipiriki river boat serve commenced in 1892 with the Wairere, Captain Stuart took over 1893-1894 (25ish years old) due to Captain Marshall retiring In 1892 .

DNA might be good! :) Only two living children of William and Annie are females (my grandmothers sisters) and hard to track down.
In case you hadn't already found it I think this is William's birth record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q24K-P1CQ
Kenneth and Annie didn't marry until 1895 so it is possible that William isn't Kenneth's biological son.
