BiographyHistory

Florence Hayward was the daughter of Philip Henry Burden and his wife Mary (Jones) Florence married William Thornborough Hayward (born Reading, England, 1854) who came to Australia in 1878 as ship's surgeon on the Oaklands and took up practice at Riverton in 1879. Their first child, Harold Thornborough Hayward, was born at Riverton in 1880. In 1882 they moved to Norwood, living on The Parade, where William established himself as a physician. He was appointed Honorary Physician to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in 1885. He was in charge of the Australian Auxiliary Hospital at Harefield during World War I, resuming his Adelaide practice in 1918. For more information about his distinguished medical career see W. T. Hayward: Biographical Notes (Z pam 920, Hayward, W.T., at the Mortlock Library of South Australiana)

Of the nine children born to Florence and William, three became doctors. Florence was an intellectual woman, frustrated by her role as a doctor's wife and a mother; for a while she was a theosophist. She was a strict vegetarian, and strongly opposed to the killing of animals. After her husband's death on December 21, 1928 she lived at Ruthven Mansions, Pulteney St, Adelaide.
