A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Latham (George)
LATHAM (GEORGE), bookseller in London, (1) Brazen Serpent, St. Paul's Churchyard; (2) Bishop's Head, St. Paul's Church Yard. 1622–58. Took up up his freedom January 31st, 1620, and the same day took over several copyrights from the widow of George Bishop. [Arber, iii. 664, 685.] On November 6th, 1628, he received another assignment from Humphrey Lownes, but these he reassigned to Robert Young on December 6th, 1630. Latham was master of the Company of Stationers in 1650. His death took place on April 21st, 1658 [Smyth's Obituary, p. 46], and his will was proved on May 10th following. From this it appears that he had a son George, who was at one time in partnership with him, but who had set up for himself; his daughter Ann married Edward Curle, and another daughter, Mary, was the wife of Timothy Garthwaite, q.v. [P.C.C. 244, Wotton.]
