Bourchier-148 and Stafford-781 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicates. Philippa was her mother's daughter by her second marriage to Edmund Stafford - see the works of Douglas Richardson and other sources. The surname should be Stafford, not Bourchier. Bourchier-148 was created via a GEDCOM import which has errors for several members of this family, and is unsourced.
Following my previous comment, I have made Edmund Stafford, her mother's second husband, her father. I am proposing a merge with the profile of Philippa Stafford.
In the absence of more definite information, I have changed the death date to before 1410. Source indicate that she died young, which often means at age under 5. Her exact birthdate is uncertain but will presumably have been before November 1405 when her mother married William Bourchier.
This effectively unsourced profile is for a daughter of William Bourchier and Anne of Gloucester who does not appear in Douglas Richardson's works or any other standard source for the Bourchiers, who were a prominent family. I have found no source to support a 1432 death date for someone called Philippa Bourchier. There may have been confusion with Philippa Stafford who was daughter of Anne of Gloucester by her 2nd marriage and who died in childhood. Unless someone has evidence that William Bourchier had a daughter called Philippa, I propose to detach her from her current father, and suggest a merge with Philippa Stafford.
This daughter does not appear in Richardson's Royal Ancestry, although her family is well-known. Anyone know any sources? Is she meant to be Stafford-781?
