It is beyond improbable that he was ever married to Anne Stafford. She married Sir William Berkeley of Stoke Gifford, Gloucestershire, somewhere in the 1460s, and he didn't die until 1501 - by which time John Clinton of Marstoke had been dead for thirteen years.

In all probability he had only the one wife, Elizabeth Fiennes.

Got Anne Stafford.

But now we have an issue on competing husbands for Frances Skulle

Sir Walter Scull, Kt. & Sir Walter Skulle, Kt.

Cadair is showing differently from Plantagenet ancestry.

Private User You quoted Cadair following Miles Skull

But apparently Sir Walter Skull was an older man then you are showing, with a first wife as Lady Margaret Skulle & a second wife as

No joy from Cawley/Medlands. This must be an obscure cadet line.

Agree. Should give her her 3rd husband also

This is a nice tidbit about 2nd husband Richard Willoughby (younger brother of Henry).

Richard Willoughby

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Statham

Jane Statham (c. 1450/1455 – after 1537) was an English heiress and petitioner for law reform.

Born in the early 1450s, Jane was heiress to the manor of Morley in Derbyshire. Soon after the death of her first husband John Sacheverell at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, Jane was abducted by Henry Willoughby of Wollaton and forcibly married to his brother Richard. Jane was restored to her family, and her forced marriage annulled, after she petitioned Parliament for assistance. Her experience almost certainly triggered a change to the law in England to make abduction of a property-owning woman a felony. Later in life, Jane became the last Prioress of Markyate Priory before it was dissolved in 1536.
