Padden is a Mayo name. There are still Paddens in Belmullet that I know of. It is considered a diminutive of Barrett in Gaelic. I have Paddens in my Mayo lines. There are Paddens listed in the book "Where the Sun Sets" by Fr. Sean Noone. See http://www.mayo-ireland.ie/en/about-mayo/arts-culture/literature/books/sean-noone-where-the-sun-sets.html I would ignore anything except 37/37 matches or higher unless the surnames are similar. There are lots of "coincidental" matches with other surnames for those that are R-M222. The McFadden Surname Project includes the Padden and Paden surnames. Hope this helps.
