Didier.

There was a Michell Didier in London in 1588, married on 2d November of that year, in the parish church of St. Botolph, Aldgate; he was a native of Marseilles (see Burn’s Parochial Registers). In Norwich there were Melchior Didier and Marie Desbonnet, his wife, whose daughter Elizabeth was baptized in the French Church on 16th November 1595; the signature of “Melchior Dydyer” as a deacon in that church was appended to the Book of Discipline on 5th October 1594. At later dates the name appears at Canterbury:—

Louis Didier, of Canterbury = Marie.
Abraham, of Canterbury, ancien, b. 1628, d. 1688, = Lea Mancke.
Jean, b. 1650, died Jean, b. 1651. Abraham = Anthoinette Lernoult, Marie, wife of Charles Lason, m. 1675. Lea, wife of Pierre Lernoult. Susanne, wife of Jean le Keux, m. 1672.
Abraham, b. 1691, died Magdelaine, b. 1693. Abraham, b. 1699.
Lea, b. 1675. Pierre, b. 1679. Jean, b. in London, 1681.

Other children of Abraham Didier and Lea were Jaques, b. 1664, and Elizabeth, b. 1666; also Benjamin, b. 1671; he married in London in 1698.

*⁎* There was a grant of Naturalization to Anthony Didier on 4th April 1692, and another to Antoinette Didier on 10th August 1693, but perhaps these were refugees of the Revocation period.
