From Cyclopedia New Zealand:
Old Colonist, "Sanday Heath," Waiuku, was born at Lostwithiel, Cornwall, England, in 1837. He was brought up to farming, and acquired a most intimate knowledge of stock. In 1861 he arrived in Auckland by the ship "Zealandia" (Captain Foster), and went to Waiuku, where he was employed in bush felling and fencing. Subsequently he was employed by the late Mr. Samuel Browning, whose extensive estate at Waiuku he managed for over twenty years. During the period of this engagement, he purchased his present valuable property of about 410 acres, which he cleared and improved by outside labour. In 1890 Mr. Sanday severed his connection with Mr. Browning, and went to reside on his own property, which contains 300 acres of the Aka Aka swamp land. Through his untiring efforts, the property has been thoroughly cleared (except that some pretty clumps of bush have been left for shelter), fenced, drained, and laid down in grass for fattening stock. Mr. Sanday is a well known breeder of blood stock; the celebrated racehorse "Waiuku," by St. Leger out of Musket Maid, was reared by him, and also "Okoari," full sister to "Waiuku." Many valuable young animals running in his paddocks will do equal credit to Mr. Sanday as a breeder. During his long residence in Waiuku, Mr. Sanday has taken a prominent part in local matters, and has been for over twenty-seven years a member of the Waiuku Road Board. He has been a member of the Aka Aka Drainage Board since its formation. Mr. Sanday is unmarried.
