Lomax

The Noble Tribe of Lomax is represented here by Lord Douglas, Seneschal of Lomax. When the ancestors of the Lomax family emigrated to England following the Norman Conquest in 1066 they brought their family name with them. They lived in a place named Lomax that was located near Bury in Lancashire. During the Middle Ages, the name was recorded as Lumhalghs, a place-name derived from the Old English words lum which means pool, and halh, which means nook or recess.
