H. Morden, of Great Lakes shipping, and Sarah Anne Morden. Morden was educated at Toronto Collegiate Institute and Upper Canada College, followed by the University of Toronto, Harvard University, and the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied law.[2][3] CareerDuring the First World War, he served as a Lieutenant Colonel with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, serving on the Canadian Remount Committee, and as honorary colonel of the 6th Royal Canadian Hussars.[4][5] Morden's first business interest was a furniture factory in Farnham, Quebec. He later became involved with finance, moving to England to set up an office in London. Morden built up a large business empire, becoming involved with over 35 companies in the UK, and many others in Canada.[5] Morden was director of the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company, the Mexican Mahogany and Rubber Corporation, the New Orleans and Grand Isle Railway Light and Power Co and Pacific Coast Coal Mines, and vice-president of Canada Securities Corporation, Montreal.[3] He co-founded Canada Steamship Lines in 1913, through the merger of 11 smaller companies.[7] He also co-founded the British Commonwealth Union in 1916.[5] Morden was elected MP for Brentford and Chiswick in the 1918 General Election, and was re-elected four times. He stood down at the October 1931 General Election, having been declared bankrupt in April that year. His financial difficulties towards the end of his life were attributed to the decline in share prices during the Great Depression.[8][9][5] Personal lifeMorden married Doris Henshaw in Vancouver in 1909, and they had one son and three daughters.[8][10] The family lived in Heatherden Hall in Buckinghamshire. The negotiations for the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty took place there while Morden was an MP.[16] Morden died of heart disease on 25 June 1932, aged 51.[11] Heatherden Hall was purchased by Pinewood Studios shortly after his death.[12] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/people/lieut-colonel-walter-morden/index.html |title=Lieut-Colonel Walter Morden |last= |first= |date= |website= |publisher=Hansard |access-date=7 May 2018 |quote=}} 2. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date=27 June 1932 |title=Grant Morden is victim of heart attack in London |url=https://newspaperarchive.com/winnipeg-free-press-jun-27-1932-p-2/ |work=Winnipeg Free Press |location= |access-date= }} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://faculty.marianopolis.edu/c.belanger/quebechistory/encyclopedia/W.GrantMorden.html |title=W.
