Would someone please help with a pre-1500 change? [closed]

I posed this questions on the profile of Paulet-76 2 months ago but got no reply, so I'm going to ask here if anyone with pre-1500 certification can address it.

In the Visitations of the County of Devon (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=yale.39002002213917&view=2up&seq=294), it's indicated that Thomas Dennis (Dennis-154), son of Robert Dennis (Dennis-150) married Anne Paulet (Paulet-204), and they had two daughters together. In this source, Anne Paulet is said to be daughter of William Powlet, Marquess of Winton. My understanding is that Winton is an archaic name for Winchester, so I think this makes Anne Paulet-204 another daughter of William Paulet-76. Would the profile managers agree, or do you see it differently? I was about to create a father for Anne, when I realized that the subject of this profile may be her father, and since it was managed, (and because I lack pre-1500 credentials) I thought it best to check first.

Hi James

N M Fuidge's article "DENYS, Sir Thomas (1559-1613), of Holcombe Rogus (Holcombe Burnel), Devon." The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1558-1603, ed. P W Hasler, (1981). The History of Parliament: British Political, Social & Local History, says Anne was the daughter of Sir William Paulet, 3rd Marquess of Winchester.  

The Notes section of Fuidge's article cites "''Vis Devon'', ed. Vivian, 280" as one of the sources for the information in the article's Family and Education section, ie, page 280 of the Visitation of Devon edited by Vivian, which is the same page of the same book you link to in your question.

Therefore it appears Sir William Paulet, KG PC, 1st Marquess of Winchester (Paulet-76), was not the father of Anne who was married to Sir Thomas Denys, but the grandfather of the man who was, Sir William Paulet, 3rd Marquess of Winchester (Paulet-75).

Some sorting out of the Paulet family is needed before connecting new people. William Paulet's wife is shown as born 8 years after their marriage, and 7 years after their first child.
