Father of Tomas Lathom of Parbold 1420 - 1473, wife Isabel Standish, please

Question

I have Thomas Lathom b1420as the father of Richard Lathom b1473, in my family tree, and I can't go any further back at present, till I find out who Thomas's father was.

Answer 1

Where was Richard Lathom born in 1473.??

His father Thomas born 1420s,being abt 50 looks suspect.Because of his

age.

Answer 2

Your dates look about a century too early.  If you got your tree off the internet, it might have been gerrymandered.

The Parbold line is discussed here

and here

but the details are vague.  However, there seems no doubt that they descend from Edward the younger son of Eleanor Ferrers

she being the gateway to William the Conqueror and all points north.

Firm up your connection to the Lathoms and you're done.  The rest is all in the standard places.
