IrelandThe lineage of the name Haddox begins with the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It is a result of when they lived in the settlement of Haydock in the parish of Winwick in Lancashire.

"The manor was held jointly by the families of Holland and Haydock, so long as the former had any estates in Lancashire. In the reign of Edward III., Gilbert de Eydock, or Haidoc, had a licence for imparking Haydock; and from this feudal proprietor descended Sir Gilbert de Haydock, whose daughter and heiress married Sir Peter Legh, of Lyme, ancestor of Thomas Legh, Esq., of Lyme Hall, Cheshire, the present lord of the manor and owner of the whole property.
