| Admin history: |
Ian Ralph Matheson Latto was born in Birmingham in 1912 the sixth child of two parents of Scottish descent. His school days were spent in Birkenhead on Merseyside, a degree at Liverpool University and then a spell at Westminster Theological College. Latto was ordained in 1935 as a minister in the Presbyterian Church of England. Shortly afterwards he was dispatched to Fukien provenance in South China where he served in the towns and villages around Yungchun [Yongchun] and then Chuanchow [Quanzhou].
In 1945, whilst on furlough, Rev Latto married Joyce Crichton in Hong Kong Cathedral. Returning to China, the couple worked in Chuanchow [Quanzhou] and raised two children before they were compelled to leave China in 1950. In 1951 Rev Latto was offered a missionary post in Formosa [Taiwan] but declined instead accepting a posting at the end of the year to serve in Newbiggin-by-the Sea in Northumberland. In 1956 Rev Latto and his family relocated to St Ninian's Church in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Lancashire, and again in 1970 to St Andrew's Church, Waterloo, Liverpool. He retired to Malpas in Cheshire in 1979 where he served for a number of years as chaplain to the Lancashire & Cheshire Federation of Scottish Societies. Rev Latto died in Hinckley, Leicestershire on 16 March 2011. |
