Sir John Houston being her grandfather, she had in her possession up to the time of her death a button which adorned the coat he wore at the King's Court. Born in Crail, in the year 1826, she received her education there, and left in the year 1858 for Australia. Breaking her journey, in Sydney for several months, she afterwards came to Ipswich, and she was engaged as dispenser for the late Dr. Lucas. She was married on the 4th of December, 1860, at St. Paul's Church, Ipswich, by the Rev. Mr. Rumsey to Mr. Samuel Solway. They lived in Basin Pocket. At the Pocket, Mrs. Solway opened a private school, amongst her scholars being the late Richard Burrell, and John Kennedy, Booval.

Later Mr. Solway bought a piece of land from the Government, on what is known as the Normanby Reserve, a quarter of a mile from his late home.
