Mary Read and William Haddock
my 3 x gt grandparents
Mary was probably the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca REED who was baptized at Chartham on 11 May 1783. She was unmarried when her son William was baptized at Hinxhill, Kent in November 1808, and no father is recorded in the baptism register. However, at the time of his marriage in 1846 William named his father as William Haddock, a labourer.
The only William Haddock of the right sort of age was baptized at St Nicholas, Plumstead 18th June 1786, son of Joseph Haddock and Margaret, paupers.
