My father Wilfred Haddow. He married mother Jun 6, 1945. She was 16 years and 10 months old, while he was 30 years and 8 months old. Because of the age of my mother, the Minister of her own church in New Liskeard, Ontario, refused to marry them. They travelled 4 miles to the nearby town of Haileybury where they were married at St. Paul's Anglican Church. I was christened in the same church in the summer of 1947. |
My Grandfather Lawrence Bateson was a councillor with Harris Township (Temiskaming District). Prior to 1923 his father George Batson served as councillor and reeve for a short while.
