Henry Locke Paddon (9 August 1881 – 1939) was a British doctor and medical missionary in Canada.
[1] There were four children in the family: their mother died four days after his birth, of what was known as milk fever[2] (a postpartum infection).
He entered University College, Oxford in 1900; his grandfather James Van Sommer died in 1901.
[1][2] In 1912 Paddon moved to the hospital at Indian Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador founded by Grenfell, for the RNMDSF.
[5] Paddon had a better relationship with Nain, Newfoundland and Labrador's Moravian mission than Grenfell, and was in 1930 able to bring a medical cruise in the Maraval there.
