"Joan Luddington was the daughter of Henry and Joan (Kirkby) Luddington and a granddaughter of Thomas and Joan (Redness) Luddington of Luddington, Yorkshire."[1]
Perhaps Thomas was descended from the following William Lodington: "In the first year of the reign of Henry IV [1399] there was a William de Lodington, who was constituted the king's attorney... he was made one of the king's sergeants on the accession of Henry V; and on June 16, 1415, in the third year of that reign, he was constituted a judge of Common Pleas. He enjoyed the office only four years, as he died in 1419, shortly after Ascension Day, 7 Henry V, which is the date of the last fine acknowledged before him. He was buried in the church of St. Peter, at Gunby, in Lincolnshire, where there is a monumental brass to his memory..."[2]
