NotesExtracted from My Hayden and Frost Family History (Copyright ? 2008 Tami Clark):

Thomas Joseph Hayden was born on March 31, 1872, at 6 Court Comus St. Liverpool, Lancashire, England. His parents were Francis Hayden and Ellen Quirk.

Francis Hayden 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.

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.

Thomas was in the orphanage one day, then going to live with a Mrs. Moran, of Pittsburgh Township. He was then found on the 1891 census as living with Patrick and Anne Donovan of the Township of Front of Leeds and Lansdowne.

On December 28, 1898, Thomas Joseph Hayden and Ellen Jane Frost were married at the home of his friend Richard Williams, in Lansdowne, Ontario. Reverend John Fairlie performed the ceremony.

Tom and Nellie had seven children between 1900 and 1920; Francis, Margaret, Mary, Edward, Joseph, William and Catherine. Catherine was my grandmother.

Tom and Nellie moved from farm to farm working as hands for board. In the late 1920's, Tom and Nellie bought their first and only real home, and with the property, a small business, a gas station. Nellie ran the store while Tom continued to work on farms. Tom Hayden enjoyed playing the fiddle and played at many barn dances, Nellie enjoyed her family, raising cats and gardening.

Tom died on November 24, 1956, ironically at Hotel Dieu Hospital, where his life in Canada started.

Nellie died May 9, 1960, in Brockville, Ontario.
