About George William Latham

Lived 1827 – 1886 (aged 59). George William Latham was a British politician, writer and barrister.

George William Latham (4 May 1827 – 4 October 1886) was an English landowner and barrister and a Liberal politician.

Latham was born in London, the son of John Latham (1787–1853) of Bradwall Hall, Sandbach, and his wife, Elizabeth Anne Dampier, daughter of Sir Henry Dampier, a judge of the King's Bench. He was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford (BA 1849, MA. 1852) and was called to the bar at Inner Temple in 1852. He was a J.P. for Cheshire and the Borough of Crewe.
