Stafford-1523 and Stafford-465 appear to represent the same person because: are these intended as same person??

This profile used to be William Stafford of Bishop's Frome, but now he's been turned into a different William Stafford, Chideock's husband had no connection with Bishop's Frome. It was the William Stafford who married Elizabeth Wrottesley who lived at Bishop's Frome.

(1) The birth year 1426 seems rather late compared to the birth years of his siblings. And it seems very unlikely if his mother was married to Edmund Cheney about 1420.

(2) Did his mother divorce Humphrey Stafford II (who supposedly didn't die until 1442).

(3) Could William have had two wives (both Catherine Chidiocke and Elizabeth Wrottesley)?
