Halliday, William
, Farmer, “Lindwood,” Roslyn Bush. “Lindwood” consists of 335 acres of freehold, and 165 acres of leasehold land. When purchased by the proprietor,
two-thirds of the land was in a state of nature, but has since been brought under cultivation. Mr Halliday was born in Midlothian, Scotland, in 1841, and was brought up to farming in Berwickshire. He came to New Zealand in 1861, and worked for six years in goldmining at Gabriel's Gully, the Dunstan, Lake Hindon, and on the West Coast. He afterwards settled at Roslyn Bush, where he bought 214 acres of land, which he farmed for ten years, and in 1877 acquired “Lindwood,” where he devotes himself to mixed farming. Mr Halliday was a member of the Lyndhurst Road Board for twenty-two years, and served for some years on the Roslyn school committee. He was married, in 1879, to a daughter of the late Mr J. C. M. Calvert, of Roslyn Bush, and has, surviving, four sons and three daughters.
