Hello, can somebody throw some light on this one?
I have an. Offord Forsdike who married a Drucilla Mary Mallam 1834 st Marylebone London.
I have tracked them and their children, through census and birth records. Ancestry records show that they use either Loder or Offord as a middle name.
Later records Show a Loder Offord Alfred Forsdyke serving in the Royal Navy.

There maybe a connection with the following.
Thomas Forsdick married a Sarah Brackett. 4th May 1807 st George's Bloomsbury ( Camden)

Hope some nice person can throw some light on this. I can't find a Forsdyke marrying a Loder or Offord The Forsdikes are known in the past to use the wife's maiden name as a Christian name.
:-) :-)

The certificate would give his parent's names.

Yes it is... This Offord, Loder, Forsdyke saga is very odd to say the least

You are probably correct with your suggestion.

Thanks all,

I still wonder who the ? Offord Forsdyke who married Drucilla Mary Mallam was. Who were his parents? Did they originate in Suffolk? Most Early Forsdikes did.
