Peg,

Here's the way the "Philadelphia Neighborhoods" site locates the area.
Ref: http://www.phila.gov/phils/Docs/otherinfo/pname1.htm


Haddington
North of Market Street between 65th & 70th Streets.
1816 (Date of reference)


Haddington (R.D.A.)
Bounded by Haverford Avenue, Girard Avenue, 52nd Street, Market Street and 63rd Street
1961-1963 (Date of reference)

Regards,
Bob Lightcap
