Henry was a glover, not yet in his apprenticeship when his mother made her will in Feb. 1592/3. Like his parents and grandparents, he 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 instead, a pattern which his children followed in New England. In his will, dated 22 February 1630/31, witnessed by John Isaack, Jefferie Hust, and John Parmiter, and proved 15 April 1631, he called himself Henrie Loker of Bures St.Mary, Essex, glover, and requested burial in the churchyard, making bequests as follows: ...to Elizabeth my wife all my goods for life if she remains single, but if she remarries my eldest son Henry is to have my great brass kettle with a little table standing in the parlour, and my son John is to have the long table in the hall and the best barrell. I give to my daughter Bridget a flockbed, a coverlet, a blanket, a bolster, 1 pair of sheets and a deal hutch. I give my younger daughter Ann the best cupboard, 1 of the biggest barrels and a little barrel. If my wife remains single, she shall have the use of these goods during her life. From my stock I give my wife Elizabeth 12, my son Henry 12, my son John 10 and 4 each to my daughters Bridget and Ann on their marriage days or after my wife's decease... My wife and sons are to share the use of my household stock, but if a son marries he is to have half his cash legacy at once. I give my daughter bridget 20s. due to me from John Mathew showmaker of Bures. Wife Elizabeth and eldest son Henry sole executors." \they went to New England in 1639 and settled in Sudbury, where they consistently used the name Loker. The John Parmenter who witnessed Henry's will was identical with the John Parmenter who also settled in Sudbury in 1639.--(Richardson,
p.330).
Henry Loker. Born ca 1576 in Suffolk, England. Henry was baptized in Bures St Mary, Suffolk on 7 Feb 1576/7.8 Henry died in feb 1630/1. Buried on 25 Feb 1630/1 in Bures St Mary, Suffolk.8 Occupation: glover.
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".8
In by 1610 Henry married Elizabeth [Loker]. Elizabeth died on 18 May 1648 in Sudbury, MA.8
Richardson says,8 "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.)8

His wife's maiden name has not been learned. They may have married in an adjoining parish, or perhaps at Bures St. Mary between 1602 and 1609 when a gap occurs in the parish registers.

Henry Loker 1610-1688 of Sudbury, Massachusetts
This family is a classic example of double named family in England using the word alias. They are original the Riddlesdale alias Loker family and in New England drop the first name and just go by Loker. This type of family name is rare, but it did exist and I descend from a few such families.
1. John Riddlesdale alias Loker, probable son of a Robert Riddlesdale, was born about 1500 and was buried on 2 July 1561 at Bures St. Mary, Suffolk, England. He married about 1530, Joan (---) who was buried at Bures St. Mary on 30 April 1561. They were the parents of:

He married about 1609, Elizabeth (---), who died at Sudbury, Massachusetts on 18 May 1648. It was in this generation that Henry adopted the name Loker more than Riddlesdale. Henry and Elizabethe had four children: Henry, John, Bridget, and Anne/Hannah.
4. Henry Loker (Jr.) was born about 1610 at Bures St. Mary, England and died 14 October 1688 at Sudbury, Massachusetts. He married there on 24 March 1647, Hannah (---) Brewer, widow of John Brewer, and who died 14 February 1679 at Sudbury, Massachusetts. Henry and Hannah had one child:
5. Elizabeth Loker born about 1648 at Sudbury, Massachusetts and died after 1696. She married at Sudbury 29 May 1667, Jacob Moore, born 28 April 1645 at Sudbury and died there 23 March 1715/6, son of John and Elizabeth (Rice) Moore. Elizabeth and Jacob had twelve children: Jacob, Richard, John, Elizabeth, Nathaniel, Hannah, Sarah, Sarah, Daniel, Samuel, James, and Jonathan.
