Dear Doug,
The 8 vol. work you cite is the one we're looking for.
The Lathom references are evidently in Vol. III, pp. 249-250
(and possibly on a prior or subsequent page, depending on the account
of the particular manor).
Abbreviations are always interesting in and of themselves. Once
upon a time (say before 1975-1980) before the U.S. Post Office was able
to dictate terms of surrender, the state abbreviations in the U.S. were
a little more pleasant (Penna. for Pennsylvania, Mass. for
Massachusetts, etc.) than the "modern" [i.e. computer-friendly] PA, MA,
etc. Yorks., Lancs., etc. work fine for me.
Good luck, and good hunting - and, thanks again!
Cheers,
John
