Reference and Research

Birth, Death and Marriage records are often the best methods of making the links to the Haddock Genealogy that will form part of your family tree. Although records vary from country to country, they are normally the most formal record of a person's relations. From sources it will be possible to locate a birth record and, from that record, a birth certificate may be obtainable which is likely to list the names of the parents, therefore taking you back another generation. A marriage certificate may also list the names of the respective fathers of the bride and groom which may then help you to find them earlier in life on a census record enabling you to fill out more detail in the Haddock family tree.

Famous Haddocks

Nicholas Haddock ^[1] Nicholas Haddock (1686 – 26 September 1746) was an admiral in the Royal Navy and Commander-in-Chief of Britain's naval forces in the Mediterranean between 1738 and 1742. Despite an active and successful early and middle career, his reputation was tarnished in 1740 when he failed to prevent the Spanish and French fleets from combining to support an invasion of Italy. Amid public outcry he was forced to resign his naval responsibilities and return to England, where he fell into a melancholic state.

Haddock never returned to sea. He held public office as the Member for the House of Commons electorate of Rochester, but there is no record of him attending parliament or casting a vote. He died at Wrotham Park in Kent, in 1746. Nicholas Haddock
