Simon Haydock was christened 10 April 1653 in Deane, Lancashire, the son of Simon and Mary Haydock. The name is spelled Haydock, Haddock, Heddock and Headocke in parish records. Simon married Elizabeth.

Simon was named as the parish constable in a history of Deane Parish Church: “In 1667 The Law for Burying in Woollens was passed. This was intended to help a declining woollen trade due to an increasing linen industry. Bodies could be buried in linen or other material on payment of a fine. The Act was not repealed until 1814. To indicate that the law had been complied with many registers have the entry "Affidavit received." There are no such entries in the Deane registers but evidently fines were collected when the law was not observed, and record made in the books of the townships as the following entry shows -"December 26th, 1683. We whose names are subscribed do agree that Symon Haydock (Parish Constable) do pay the 4s. 9d. in his hands unto Robte Ward and we desire that Martin Taylor, churchwarden would also pay 7s. 11d. towards satisfying 3 Hultons and Rumworth for Mr. Harpur's burying in Linen...."  Deane Parish Church (http://www.deanechurch.co.uk)
