Henry had two sons, Robert and Richard who was the witness to Carta Johannis Wallensis facta nobis de Childewall in which his brother, Roberto de Lathom, is named. Richard also was the ancestor of the torbocks of Torbock.

Henry-Fitz-Siward was also named in the Inquisition of 1212, and was a grantee of Flixton from Albert de Gredlè, the elder, who was Lord of Manchester Fee. It is clear that Robert Fitz Henry succeeded to flixton, for he gave that Church to Burscough; and the Inquisition cited states the Flixton property to have passed hereditarily to its time, which was subsequent to the death of this Founder. It also, fixes the Founder's son, Richard Fitz Robert, as heir of Siward Fitz Dunning, and closes up the entire descent of blood and inheritance from Dunning to Henry's grandson, Richard.
