This passage:

"It was in 1526 that Isabella de Lathom, being the oldest daughter of parents who had no male heir, married Thomas Stanley and the Latham and Stanley families became forever linked. The Earl of Derby, since that time, has of course, always come from that particular Latham-Stanley line. The coat of arms of the Latham family had traditionally been an eagle carrying a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes in its talons. In 1526 this coat of arms also became that of the Stanley family."

is faulty, both in terms of dates (indeed centuries!) and the distinction between a coat of arms and a crest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonstan (talk • contribs) 14:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence :"The Latham and Stanley family, to a great extent, migrated to the New World..." is nonsense. There are very many descendents of the family alive and well living in England, not least the Earl of Derby and his family, the Lords Stanley of Alderley and Barons Sheffield amongst others...

Lots of dubious assertions in this article, unsupported by any references. Kahuzi (talk) 14:11, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
