WRG-Robert d 1402 - dad is Robert d 1402/mother is unkn. (shows siblings Thomas & Peryn m Clambowe -mom unk; Joan m Walwyn&Weldon by Janet Trussell; Robert m (Wenllian!) Oldcastle by Maud Cromwell)

bartrum has him as son of Eustace d 1402, but Bartrum doesn't show the Robert who died 1402 (who I think is brother to the Eustace who died 1402)

Robert m Oldcastle d1441 (HOP d1443) seems most likely, but can't find record online of 1431 MP for Herefordshire.
