Francis Hayden, Sr., was presumably born in Ireland about 1838, his father was named William Hayden and was listed as a gentleman on both of Francis' marriage registrations. Francis had been first married to Mary Riley on July 20, 1856 at St. Nicholas Pro Cathedral and together they had four children, Mary, Catherine, William and John, between 1857 and 1868. Mary Riley Hayden died between 1868 and 1871. Francis Hayden was a journeyman tailor by trade.

Ellen Quirk, born about 1853, also presumably in Ireland, was the daughter of Thomas and Margaret Quirk. Thomas was born about 1835 in Ireland and was the son of John and Mary Quirk, both of Cashel, Tipperary, Ireland. As well as Thomas, John and Mary also had sons Patrick and John.

Francis and Ellen Hayden were married on May 23, 1871, at the Church of Our Lady and St. Nicholas ( C of E ) also known as Sailors Church, in Liverpool. Witnesses were William Quinlan and Mary Courtney.

The eldest child, Thomas Hayden, was followed by siblings Francis Joseph, Margaret May and Bridget Hayden. It is unknown what happened to Thomas Hayden's older half siblings, one of them, Mary, may have married a Quirk related to her stepmother, Ellen Quirk Hayden.

Francis Hayden died on Christmas Eve 1882, of a fractured skull. Shortly before his death, his wife Ellen also suffered the loss of her mother Margaret Quirk, due to bronchitis. Her father Thomas Quirk died in 1891 of cancer of the tongue.

It is not known when Ellen Quirk placed her three oldest children into foster care, but Thomas, Francis and Margaret Hayden all sailed from Liverpool on May 10, until May 21, 1883, on the S.S. Peruvian, with Mrs. Margaret Lacy of the Catholic Protection Society as their guardian. From their arrival in Quebec,Canada, they then went on to Hotel Dieu orphanage in Kingston, Ontario.

Francis stayed in the orphanage nineteen days, then going to live with a Mrs. O'Leary of Hastings Township. From there, Francis wound up in Toronto, Ontario and married Charlotte Hanney. They had seven children, John, Edward, Francis, Lawrence, Mary, Philip and Robert. Charlotte died in childbirth along with their youngest child.

Francis Joseph Hayden died in his eighties. As of 2003, there are still two surviving children of Francis and Charlotte Hayden.

According to the Liverpool Mercury (December 29, 1882), Francis Hayden Sr. was possibly murdered by a William Hayden - his son from his first marriage?
