'As [the Feb 1566 will of John Loomis] proves that there were other children [besides John], they must have been older than John, for their baptisms, not now appearing after the baptism of John, 1562, would have been entered upon the pages [of baptisms from 1538 to 1558] that were cut out of [the Thaxted] register. One of these children, it is imagined, was the Edward "Lomys" who also appeared in Braintree and Bocking, marrying Alicia Perie in Bocking Church, 2 August, 1593, and had four children there, three of whom died very young, the son William surviving.'
