Welcome to the genealogy site for the Lummis family name

This site  gives details of not only my own ancestors but many other instances of where the name has been found. There are also some theories as to the derivation of the name and its many variants which can now be  found worldwide. If you have any further data to add, this will be gratefully received. Please e-mail Brian Lummis at brian@lummis.org

The main area of research is in Suffolk, England particularly Stoke Ash (Parish Records can be seen on Fred Bowen Lock's website) and the surrounding area. I am also indebted to Peter and Anne Ellis whose own research has provided additional data.

There are Australian cousins following the emigration of Samman Lummis to Victoria in 1853 from Wickham Skeith, Suffolk. Lorraine Nicholson is a direct descendant of Samman and would welcome news from others interested in the Lummis name.

 If you are interested in the Lummis name in Canada then take a look at the family history of John Lummis who went to Canada from Laxfield, Suffolk in 1836.

 The Lummis name in the USA derives from Edward and Joseph Loomes who emigrated in 1635 from Essex or Suffolk and initially settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts. No connection has been made between the Lummis  name in England to the families of Edward and Joseph Loomes.
