Hi Nice to here from you
I have been trying to go further back than William but have only gone back to 1729? In the records our Surname was spelt Haldern. It all depended on who wrote the name down in records but all our surnames come from Haldane.
In Milwich around 1700 their were other Haldens.Roger and Thomas Halden but I can not tie them in to my Tree They must all tie in some where. Around 1821 another Family called Halden came to live in Milwich. This was John Halden and he was a Butcher, they came from Hertfordshire. Their are alot of Haldens in Hertfordshire. Why would they come to Milwich? Are we related to them? Did they come up because they had relations in this area? who Knows Something for you to think about.
As regards Christian names I think the lead member of the Haldens is William because it crops up alot as being important in the line. I don`t think our line from George were Quakers However my father said to me that my Grandad George 1883 remembered going to a Building in Stafford and seeing lots of Halden names on the wall. That must have been the Quaker House. Also one of your line I think a William was also a Presbyterian Lay preacher ( sorry about the spelling) around the 1830s in Stafford as well as his main occupation.
I also had great uncle who went to Australia but he never had any children. So no summer holidays for us
Hope this helps you
