Bryan I think this reflects the fact that at least 2 members of the church have indexed the register. When you say the name should be Haycock, have you seen that in the Parish Register? If not, then hopefully the Indexer has recorded exactly what was written in the Register. But because one of them has written Acock, and one has written Haycock, you can only be sure if you check the register for yourself. The first two film numbers refer to Parish Registers, and the second two refer to Archdeacon's or Bishop's Transcripts.

Hi Bryan, As others have explained, the reason for the different batch numbers for what is apparently the same event is because the event has been submitted from different sources. The ones to treat with considerable caution are those submitted by "patrons", which are sometimes based on pure supposition. The others might be entries extracted from parish registers (usually prefixed with a C or M), or from printed sources like Philimore's or from other transcripts. Although these tend to be more reliable, these too are prone to error of transcription or even worse errors of complete omission. I was involved in Genealogy when much of the index was created and there was an absolute outcry after an English genealogist visited Salt Lake and reported that the transcriptions were being conducted by non-English speaking Hispanics. At one time it was reported that the error rate was close to 30%, although it is supposedly better than that these days. I have checked the entries in the IGI against the parish registers of my village church in Hampshire. The registers are beautifully written and very clear. With only one or two marriage per year one would not think there were any errors, but unfortunately they had missed entries. In another instance the marriage of a direct ancestor was recorded in a parish which I had already searched. I thought perhaps I had missed it, so went to the record office and checked again . It was definitely not there. I eventually found it some two years later whilst doing some research in a parish 12 miles away. By all means use the IGI (and any other index for that matter) but use it only as a tool to advance your own personal research. Check every entry against the original document. And dont forget the deaths and burials (which rarely appear on the IGI). I know of someone who relied on the IGI for his information and spent 4 happy years tracing his ancestry only to discover that the person he thought was his great grandfather had actually died as a two year old infant. Good luck with your research.
