Many members of the Haddock family of seafarers were baptized, married, or buried at some of the churches noted on this map. Naval officers in the family often worshipped at St. Olave Hart Street (number 48), the Anglican church closest to the Navy office. A daughter of Captain and East India Company Commander Joseph Haddock (c.1642–98) married a naval captain there. The family’s most prominent naval officer, Admiral Sir Richard Haddock (c.1629–1715), was a parishioner at the ancient church of All Hallows Barking (number 1, near the Tower of London). Four of his young children with his second wife, Elizabeth Hurlestone, were buried there. The couple’s son Nicholas (1685–1746), who became Admiral of the Blue, was married at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
St. John of Wapping, a parish that figures repeatedly in the Haddock family story, no longer exists because it was among a number of London churches bombed during World War II.
