Perhaps identical with Thomas Lownes III, who died in 1609. Apprenticed to William Lownes { LOWNES, William ( - 1605) ‹ LBT 08603 › } for seven years from July 5th, 1591 [Arber, ii. 175]. Took up his freedom August 7th, 1598 [Arber, ii. 722].

LOWNES (THOMAS III), bookseller in London, 1609; St. Sepulchre's parish. In all probability a native of Astbury in Cheshire. His will, dated August 31st, 1609, and proved in the Commissary Court of London on October 6th, mentions his son George Lownes.
The following items in it prove him to have been a bookseller. "Debts that are due to me. Imprimis Thomas Stocke owes me for a booke vjs. Henry Rose xijd. Item Thomas Lownes [Query the son of Humphrey] xviijs. Thomas Lownes owes me vijs. Item Francis Collmbine ijs vjd. Item Thomas Sanson iiijs. Item Thomas Lucar pastboard maker ixs .... Debts that I owe. Imprimis, I owe to my cosen Humphrie Lownes iijli.... to my cosen Mathewe Lownes 25s. Item to Ambrose Garbin xs. Item to James Randoll. vs. Item to Mr. Stokes vs.... to William Smith box maker xls." Amongst the witnesses were Thomas Lownes and John Lownes (probably the two sons of William Lownes) [Commissary of London, vol. 21, fol. 174]. This Thomas may be identical with Thomas Lownes I.
