    Note: Pertinent text from p. 209 of this source: "He [Ralph Stafford] m. firstly, before 1327(e) Katharine, da. of Sir John DE HASTANG, of Chebsey, co. Stafford, (f) and Eva, his wife.(g) He m. secondly, before 10 Oct 1336, Margaret, de jure, apparently, suo jure (1347) BARRONESS AUDLEY, da. and h. of Hugh AUDLEY, only child of Hugh (Audley), EARL OF GLOCESTER and LORD AUDLEY, by Margaret, 2nd da. of Gilbert (DE CLARE), EARL of HERTFORD and GLOUCESTER."
    Page: The first marriage of Ralph Stafford -2nd Baron Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford (ca. 1299-1372) to his first wife Katharine, daughter of Sir John de Hastang of Chebsey, co. Stafford., this original source places the marriage BEFORE 1327; notes that by 10 Oct 1336, Ralph had re-marred Margaret de Audley, by whom he had numerous children,starting with a daughter Elizabeth, b. ca. 1334 (noting the "de jure" marriage note). From his first wife, daughter Margaret Stafford likely born closer to 1327 than the time of his second marriage. Placing her dob beyond 1334 (half sister Elizabeth's dob) is clearly wrong, as this citation is intended to prove. This also relieves the problem noted by Margaret's marriage pegged 1341, possible if she were at least of consent age, ie 12 or more. D.O.B. circa 1327 is appropriate and supported by this source.
