Thank you everyone for the information. Nathaniel Hunt the owner in 1881 was my maternal great great great grandfather. I'm having trouble tracing the family after 1891-1901. My great grandmother Lilian was his grandaughter and I don't know if Owlgreave or Oldgrave Farm continued in the family's possession. Her father's farm on Breach Road seems to have been sold after his death possibly for housing but if Algrave Hall Farm is still there I would like to find out more about it. Nathaniel had quite a few sons by the way who seem to all have been a;ready in possession of farms eg some at Chaddesden some at Marlpool/Langley which is why Samuel Fox Hunt the youngest took over Owlgreave I assume. He seems to have died off by 1901 along with his brother Thomas Dunn Hunt.
