Research Notes

Complete Peerage 8 (1932): 523 (sub Marny) states Sir John Marney [died 1472] and his wife Joan Throckmorton [parents of Henry Marney, Knt., Lord Marney] were married before 27 April 1447.

No source is given for this statement.

Sir John Marney's known wife, Joan Throckmorton, was twice a widow when he married her. Joan married (1st) Robert Gifford, of Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, who died 1446, and (2nd) Drew Barantine, Esq., of Haseley, Chalgrove, and Henton (in Chinnor), Oxfordshire, Knight of the Shire for Oxfordshire, 1445–6, who died 23 April 1453.

Inasmuch as Drew Barantyne died in 1453, Joan Throckmorton obviously can't have been John Marney's wife named Joan back in 1447. As such, one must assume that Sir John Marney had two wives both named Joan and that his wife, Joan, in 1447 was an earlier unknown first wife.
