In 1361 Thomas was granted an annuity of 20 marks by Henry, Duke of Lancaster.[1][2]
After he inherited from his father in 1370, Thomas gave his interest in the manor of Wrightington, Lancashire to his brother Edward for 12 years.[5]
In 1376 Thoms made a grant of some land at Easthaitfield, to be held to "Thomas de Lathum and Joan and the heirs male of their bodies; remainder to Thomas son of the same Thomas de Lathum and the heirs male of his body; remainder to Isabel daughter of Thomas de Lathum and Joan and the heirs male of her body; remainder to Cicely, sister of Isabel, and the heirs male of her body; remainder to the right heirs of Thomas de Lathum."[6]
In 1382 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Huyton, with the remainder to "Margaret daughter of Thomas and Joan, and her heirs male; to Isabel sister of Margaret; to Cecily sister of Isabel; and to Katherine sister of Cecily; then to Joan and her heirs for ever."[4] In 1376 Thomas had
Thomas died a little before 20 March 1381/2. He was buried at Burscough Priory, Lancashire.[1][2] Very soon after his death his widow married Roger de Fazarkerley,[1][2] with whom, according to an Inquisition Post Mortem, she had been living adulterously.[5]
In 1391 there was an inquiry as to the legitimacy of the marriage of Thomas and Joan; but the bishop of Lichfield decided in its favour.[7]
Research Notes
Marriage
In some old works it has been suggested that Thomas had a first wife, prior to Joan Venables - Isabella, daughter of Rogwr de Pilington.[8] This is due to a confusion about which Thomas de Lathoma an Inquisition Post Mortem relates to.[9]
Children
Allegedly the will of Thomas Lathom (d. 1382) mentioned three sons: Thomas, Edward and Robert and three daughters: Isabel, Margaret and Katherine. As Isabel was eventual heiress, it is probably safe to assume that Edward, Robert, Margaret and Katherine were dead before 1391 when Ellen/Elena (daughter of Thomas who died 1383) died.[10]
