The suburb of Hillsborough Auckland New Zealand was named by my 3rd Gt grandfather James Carlton Hill 1798-1858 who once owned and farmed the land.
Several streets in the area are names after family members.

Carlton Street ~ named after my 2nd Gt Grandfather Carlton Hollis James Hill 1823-1893

Frederick Street ~ named after Frederick Eldon Winchelsea Hill 1835-1912 James Carlton Hills son

Phillips Street ~ named after James Carlton Hills first wife Sarah Phillips who died in 1836. Later this street was realigned as the extention of Frederick Street then in 1951 renamed Bagley Street and its name on longer features in the borough

Filgate Street ~ named after his second wife Emma Maria Filgate in the 1880's

Warkworth New Zealand was founded by my other 3rd Gt Grandfather John Anderson Brown in 1853 he named it after Warkworth in Northumberland where some of his ancester came from.
his grave stone inscription reads
" John Anderson Brown who laid out and named this township of Warkworth in 1853"

His daughter Amelia Brown married carlton Hollis James Hill and Hill Street in Warkworth is named after them.
Amelia & Carlton are my 2nd Gt Grandparents.

Hello, This is my first posting as I have only joined this site today, having made a search based on a relative from Ireland, namely James Carlton Hill.
While my brother is better informed than I I have a good overview of where James Carlton Hill fits into our family history. I came across your posting when checking on another Hill namely John, who was a Jailor/Governor at Wicklow Gaol circa 1840.
