The Walwyn family pedigree in the 1569 Visitation of Herefordshire has Agnes Milbourne (said to be daughter of Simon Milborne and Jane Baskerville) as the Agnes who married JOHN Walwyn/Walwayn of Longeford and by whom she had at least nine children.[1] Burkes agrees with this marriage and goes further to name John's parents as William Walwayn and Joan Whytteney, as well as stating that they had nine sons and three daughters, naming 5 of their sons: John, Thomas, Fulco, George and Edward.[2]
However, Richardson, in Magna Carta Ancestry, 2nd ed., Vol III, p. 146 and in Royal Ancestry, Vol. IV, p. 86-87, states that Agnes, daughter of Simon, married THOMAS Walwyn.[3]
Did John Walwyn marry the Agnes Milbourne, born c. 1422-1428 and who is Simon's SISTER? They would fit perfectly... and fix the generation discrepancy in ages.
The Visitation of Herefordshire, 1569, page 91: MYLBOURNE conflicts with the Walwyn pedigree on page 69. The Mylbourne pedigree has Agnes, daughter of Simon, married to THOMAS Walwyn. One of these has to be wrong. Perhaps this Agnes, married to JOHN, was Simon's sister after all.

Burke shows that Agnes, daughter of Simon, married John Walwyn and had 12 children (see p 1508 for their children).
That's 3-to-1 for John.
So does Richardson (Royal Ancestry, vol IV, p 87 (2013)).
If no objections, I'll move her to be daughter of Simon & Jane Baskerville.
