Question about Richard (Wydeville) Woodville

Question

Where is proof that he was born at Maidstone in Kent, since his family home was at Grafton Regis in Northamptonshire and he only certainly leased a property at Maidstone in 1428, when he was married and probably aged over 40? Where is proof that he married at Maidstone, when neither he nor his wife had any known connection with the town at that time? Where is proof that he died at Maidstone, though it was then his principal residence, and why is his estate there referred to as La Mote when its name in English is Mote Park? Where is proof for his alleged daughter Margaret?

Just happened across this question.  I've added tags for EuroAristo, England, and Pre-1500 to bring it to the attention of project members.
