Walter Hadden was born 4 Feb. 4, 1893 in Dunmacmay, Co. Tyrone. He died May 9 1974 in Willowdale (now Toronto) Ontario, Canada. Walter was the fifth of six children of William Hadden and Emily Watson, and was also my Grandfather. His parents were farmers and the property was known as May Mount on the border of Tyrone and Monaghan. Walter had one sister and 4 brothers. Two of the brothers became Presbyterian Ministers. When Walter's father died in 1922, the farm passed into his name. He emigrated to Canada in 1927, leaving the farm behind because he could no longer manage it by himself. The two older brothers had emigrated to Boston by this time. After trying various things, he secured work at Donland's Dairy, Toronto. He worked there until his retirement in 1962. He and his wife Isobel, built a house on Ellerslie Ave. The place took him 4 years to build. Weekdays he worked at the dairy, but on the weekend he worked as a gardener for several large estates in the area. Somehow, between all the work he was able to not only build a house but to have a family. He had 2 daughters, Joy and Jean. His house in Willowdale was on a large property and contained an apple orchard, grape vines, potato patch (of course) and just about any other fruit or vegetable you can think of. I was lucky in that we lived with him until he died in 1974. He was a kind gentle man. He worked hard, was active in Cooke's Presbyterian Church, was a great father and grandfather, and he is missed by all that knew him.
Walter's siblings were:
Fanny Hadden, the oldest child, was born Co. Tyrone 1882 and died Kilrea, Coleraine 1939. She never married and when Walter Emigrated to Canada she went to live with her younger brother, Rev. Hans Hadden in Kilrea. She is buried in the First Presbyterian Church Cemetery.
John Hadden was born Co. Tyrone 1883 and died in Boston, Massachusetts abt 1962. The second child of William and Emily, he emigrated to the United States in the early 1900's where he worked as a chef at the Boston Sanatorium his entire life. He was a quiet, friendly man. He never married. It is kind of sad that in some of his letters home he states that leaving Ireland was a mistake.
William James Hadden was born Co. Tyrone 1885 and died in Boston, Massachusetts 1940. The third child of William and Emily, little is known of him except that he emigrated to the USA at some point and settled in Boston. He died as a younger man, being only 55 when he passed.
Alfred Hadden was born Co. Tyrone 1888 and died Allora, Queensland, Australia. The fourth Child of William and Emily. He had tuberculosis as a child and it is believed only one lung worked. He became a Presbyterian Minister but left Ireland for health reasons. He emigrated first to the USA and preached in Denver, Colorado. Eventually, he moved on to Allora, Queensland Australia. He rose through the ranks and in 1950 became Moderator of the church. He never married, but he did travel. He took a 5 month holiday visiting England, Ireland, Canada, the USA and then back to Australia - quite a journey in the 1930's.
Hans Hadden was born Co. Tyrone 1897 and died Kilrea, Coleraine 1962. He was the sixth child of William and Emily. He became an Presbyterian minister and presided over the congregation of Kilrea First Presbyterian from 1922 until his retirement in 1950. He married and had one child Peter.

Margaret Flanagan, (July 29 1832-February 27 1913) was born at Russell Town (a subdenomination of Largybeg townland adjoining the Deer Park of Baronscourt, the seat of the Dukes of Abercorn), located in the western half of Ardstraw Parish, Co.

Emigrated to Adelaide, South Australia, November 1848 on the “Roman Emperor” which carried 200 Famine orphan girls from workhouses across Ireland. The Irish Female Orphan Scheme had been devised at the Parliament of Westminster, London in an attempt to alleviate overcrowding in the workhouses of Ireland and address the shortage of domestic and agricultural servants and the male-female imbalance in the Australian colonies. Some 5,000 Irish girls were sent to Australia 1848-50, being generally unwelcomed by the colonial population.
Aged 16 years, Margaret married William Button March 7, 1850 at St Stephen’s Anglican Church, Willunga, South Australia. Issue: Hannah, William Bly, James, Daniel, John, Sarah, Joseph Bly and Owen (1850-1866). William visited the Victorian gold fields at the time of the rush, and returned within a year with 800 sovereigns and eventually purchased 80 acres at Willunga.
William Button died in 1866. Margaret remarried Stephen Rogers at Sellick’s Hill in 1877 and son George was born 1878. At the time of her death at Minlaton, South Australia in 1913, Margaret could proudly claim 79 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Much of this data has been extracted from her obituary published in the “The Register”, March 7 1913.
