Haselden was born on 24 December 1846 in Marylebone, Middlesex, England. He was the son of Rev. Charles Haselden and Maria Simpson Moore.[1] The family emigrated to New Zealand aboard the SS Mermaid in 1860. His brother was a Wellingtom stipendary magistrate.[2]
Before October 1896, Haselden had become a sheep farmer in Hunterville, Taranaki Region. He was also appointed a Justice of the Peace.[3]
Following the resignation of George Hutchison, he was elected for Patea in an 18 July 1901 by-election. After an electoral petition the seat was declared vacant from 9 October 1901. He was re-elected in the subsequent 6 November by-election, but was defeated in the 1902 general election.[4]
In the 1908 general election, he stood unsuccessfully for Ohinemuri, and in 1909 he stood in the 1909 by-election for Thames.
Haselden later moved to South Africa,[5][6] where he died in 1941.[7]
