Protestant Exiles from France/Book First - Chapter 15 - Didier
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:—
