latham's

[UPDATED AGAIN] Looking for any Latham's from wigan who had a step brother called Joe Keogh from scholes.One brother may have been a petty officer in the Royal navy thier father was Christopher latham.Joe keogh went to live in Kent after the war where he stayed untill his death in 1997.His mother Elizabeth keogh married Albert scott and his other step siblings were Albert,Mary,frank,Patricia,Winnie,Michael and Joan,they lived in Cambridge street scholes until the late 60's.Any help with finding the Lathams would be a great help,Many thanks.Christopher Latham we think married a woman called Elizabeth Ann Houghton in 1925,After WW1 Christopher was a superintendant of armouries (not a clue what this is)but it sounds like something to do with the MOD.Thanks once again.

Hi freeway,It may well be the ones my
cousin is looking for,do you know if your ex's grandfather had a son named
Joseph born in 1914 and is it possible
for you to find out the names of his two wives.I have had no luck finding any one
so far.Thanks.

dont see much of my x .and his mum and dad are both dead.maybe get some info from is brother.i will ave a scratch around if i get any info i let you know freeway

Thank you very much freeway,a couple of details that may help you,He married a
woman called Ellen Waters who lived in
Birkett Street in 1949 and he was a
munitions worker.Any help would be of great value,thanks once again.

A Chris Latham lodged with us at CATHERINE TERRACE in the 40's, He had a son in the navy ,i remember he married a MRS. WATER'S from Birket street,,, that's all i know about him ,

gunnerbill,thanks very much for that
if you remember any thing else please let me know,have you any idea what his sons name was.thanks

almost certain CHRIS LATHAM'S son was also named CHRIS,

Thanks,gunnerbill that's a great help and a usefull bit of info,cheers.Can you remember what years they where and how old do you reckon his son was at the time
sorry for mithering you about this,but you are the best link i have had so far.

we hardly ever saw his son , i only ever saw him once , i expect being in the navy he hardly got to see his dad,must have been about 1949 when his dad left to marry mrs, waters ,,, good luck ,,,,,

Thanks for your help gunnerbill,cheers.

Hi freeway,this is what i know of Christopher Latham so far he was born in 1894/5 mother Ellen(scottish) father James.Christopher married Elizabeth Ann
Houghton in 1925 then married Ellen Waters in 1949 aged 54 a widower.My cousin has sent me a marriage cert from Kent where they live from the 1949 marriage and one of the witness's is
H. Latham could be Henry?My cuz says that
a man in the navy came to visit them in Kent in about 1959/60 but they where not in and she thinks this was her dads step brother.Have you any idea where he lived
before he died and the year he died.It sounds very much like the C.Latham we are after,My cuz is desperate to find out about her Grandfather so any help would be great.Thank you so much for your replies.
