The known history of the property "Solway" is:

Some of this information from  Athol Kirk a decendant of Hille:

The original land area was granted by Sir George Grey to John Logan Cambell on July 10th1851.  It consisted of 1610 acres 1 rood and 30 perches being part of allotment 39 in the parish of Mahurangi in the county of Marsden.
This was purchased by Hille presumably from Brown and Campbell in June 1886. Hille died on April 6th 1895 and a new certificate of  title 76/61 was issued to his widow Dinah Hille.  Apparently  some of the land had been sold because there was only 1455 acres 1 rood and 30 perches left. This land was retitled to a new plan 571.
The following sales were then made.
