Hi Lisa
We are related! I too go back through Thomas Ladd born 1500 in Barham, Kent, whose son Thomas was married to Elizabeth Mumbray. Apparently they had a daughter, Affra who married Stephen
Hogben born 1556. I think it is the right family as Affra appears as a grand-daughter on two separate occasions.
I have the Ladds going back to John born circa 1400 and married to an Agnes.
If you let me have your email address I can send you my family connection and other Ladd information I have gleaned from the internet.
Regards, John
