Go to www.familysearch.org
Click on Advanced Search
Go to International Genealogical Index

Fill in boxes.

This is an EXTRACTED record .. which emans the information has been taken from official records, in this case, the parish register.

Be very wary of SUBMITTED recortds (always scroll down to see which type of record it is!) ................. these are based on information submitted by church members, and are often incorrect at the very least, occasionally it seems that the information may even be made up!

If you go to the International Genealogical Index and enter William Latham into the Father Box and Sarah into Mother, 1820 +/- 20 years, England and Warwick ................ you will get a listing of 9 children born to said parents, including Charles. It may be his 8 siblings ...................... but that will need careful checking!

There is also information on a William Latham marrying a Sarah Wrigth in 1796 ...... but both of these are SUBMITTED records, and should be treated with great caution!

If you go to

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm

and make your way through to Warwick, click on A, find Austry, and you will find the christening records of 56 Lathams over a long period of years.

These are all taken from the parish records in Austry.


Good Luck!
