"Lathom (Parbold and Allerton, co. Lancaster). Same Arms as Lathom, of Lathom. Crest - An oak branch fesseways truncated and leaved ppr. thereon an eagle".

"The issue of Sir Thomas were Thomas, son and heir, Edward, S. P. (Alius Thome de Lathom Militis Junior. June 1377. Lyme deeds) and Isabel, afterwards Lady Stanley, issue by the marriage with Jane Venables in the Pedigrees of the Herald's College, but more probably sprung from that with Isabel de Pilkington.3

The beautiful Seal of this knight, representing an eagle displayed, charged on the breast with his shield armorial, was attached to a grant of part of Wrightington to his brother Edward Lathom of Parbold, and also to a grant to his younger son Edward and his contracted wife Ellen daughter of John le Botiller of Merton, (afterwards wife of Croft of Dalton) made on April 14, 1378. 1. R. II.3"

The early history of PARBOLD is involved in that of Wrightington. Before 1242 it had come into the hands of Robert de Lathom, who held it of the lord of Manchester by the service of the fourth part of a knight's fee. (fn. 4) Robert de Lathom gave it to Richard his son and his issue, and Richard had four daughters— Lucy, Alice, Katherine and Cecily. Two died without issue, and in 1351 the claimants were Henry de Trafford in right of his wife Lucy daughter of Alice, and Thomas son of Richard de Bradshagh of Pennington by Cecily his wife. (fn. 5) The Lathoms of Tarbock and their heirs also claimed the manor of Parbold (fn. 6) ; but the head of the family, Sir Thomas de Lathom, recovered the whole and granted it to his younger son Edward, (fn. 7) ancestor of the Lathoms who continued to hold the manor down to the end of the 17th century.

The descent is thus given in a plea of 1511 (fn. 10) : Edward — son, Robert (fn. 11) — son, Edward — son, Robert. Some time during the 15th century, perhaps by the second Edward, the manor of Allerton in Childwall was acquired together with other lands in that neighbourhood. (fn. 12) Robert Lathom (fn. 13) died in 1516 holding the manor of Parbold and the fourth part of the manor of Wrightington of Thomas Earl of Derby by knights' service and the rent of a rose and 23d., the earl holding the same of Lord La Warr by like service, and Lord La Warr of the king as of his duchy of Lancaster by knights' service. The manor of Parbold was worth £10 a year and the fourth part of Wrightington £5. William Lathom son and heir of Robert was sixty years of age and more. (fn. 14)

"Parbold was held by Richard de Lathom in the time of King John ; and his great-grandson, Edward Lathom, is styled " of Parbold," in the 39th Edward III.

In the 9th Elizabeth, the Manor was held by Richard Lathom Esq. and continued in his family until the beginning of the eighteenth century, when the Hall, a spacious edifice of free stone, was built."

I also see it written that Edward, son of Thomas Lemar de Lathom and Eleanor de Lathom (de Ferris) b. 01/01/1300, d.29/09/1346, was a Chemist. He was tried for Witchcraft and was "bound as a bundle of wood and thrown on a fire alive to help burn the witch Sarah Downs" and that he never married. http://www.geocities.ws/foxfire_55811/flbgenealogy/latha001.html how accurate this is I cannot say.
