You may also want to try Hilly Clay , Olrig in 1851

and

Hilly Clay or Hillyclay , Olrig in 1841

You can enter Hil* on the freeCEN search , with Census place set at Olrig

Olrig is on 1841 , 1851 , 1861 , 1871 , and 1881 on freeCEN

As GR2 posted there there may have been several crofts at that location
