Henry was a member of the Riddlesdale alias Loker family of Bures St. Mary, Suffolk. For about four generations the family used either a version of the surname Riddlesdale, or a variation of Loker. Riddlesdale was favored in the early generations, but he prefered Lokar. Henry lived in the southern part of the parish of Bures St. Mary which is in Essex. Apparently in his lifetime, he dropped the surname Riddlesdale and began regularly using the alias Loker insetad. “Loker” had variable spelling; he was baptized as “Locar”, but buried as “Loquar”.46
Henry married Elizabeth. Elizabeth died in Sudbury, MA on 18 May 1648.70
Richardson says,46 “a lucky guess is that Elizabeth was the sister of Bridget, wife of John Parmenter of Bures St. Mary and later New England.”
Elizabeth, after Henry died, went to New England in 1639 with her four children and settled in Sudbury (where they consistently used the surname Loker.)46
