Biography

Edward was likely closely related to John Lummys of Braintree, tailor. The Loomis Genealogy hypothesizes that they both may have been brothers, and both sons of John Lummys of Thaxted, carpenter, though this is not proven.[1][2]

Edward Lomys married Alicia Perie on 2 August 1593 at Bocking, Essex.[3] They likely had:

Jane, bp. 10 March 1593/4,[4] bur. 5 April 1595 at Bocking[5]
Frances, bp. 9 November 1595,[6] bur. 18 November 1595 at Bocking[7]
Thomas, bur. 26 Februray 1596/7 at Bocking[8]
William, bp. 9 January 1596/7 at Bocking[9]
Mary, bp. 16 May 1602 at Coggeshall[10]
Barbara, bp. 10 July 1603,[11] bur. 29 June 1604 at Coggeshall[12]
possibly Edward, b. abt. 1607
On 15 July 1596, Edward Lomas of Bocking, labourer, was indicted for stealing goods woth 10d belonging to Thomas Hocknell. Edward was whipped.[13]

There are no records of Edward Lomas/Lummis/Lumys at Bocking after William was baptized there in January 1596/7. Edward and his family seems to have moved away after that point. Edward seems to appear in Coggeshall from 1602 to 1604, then disappears again.

Research Notes

The transcribed parish records on Ancestry.com contain main spelling errors, and should not be considered 'proper' spellings. Ideally the original records should be consulted.

The Loomis Genealogy gives Jane, Frances, Thomas, and William as his children, as records exist for them in Bocking. There are addition Lummis baptisms at Coggeshall, about 20 km away from Bocking, with the named father being Edward which may be the same family.

A genealogy of Edward Lumas, who emigrated from England to Ipswich, Massachusetts, was published in 1917. It hypothesized that the immigrant Edward was their son. The Rev. Nathaniel Rogers of Bocking emigrated to New England and was ordained as pastor of the church at Ipswich, Massachusetts, and many of his congregation came with him from Bocking, Essex.[14]
