Thomas then married (before 1434) Elizabeth Langton, "evidently" daughter of Sir Ralph Langton of Walton-le-Dale, Lancashire.

Research Notes

Her father is difficult to find - prob. the Sir Ralph Langton who was the son of Henry Langton (b.1366). Ralph (1396-1431); 23 years old when his father d. in 1419, m. Alice whose parents are unknown, knighted after the fall of Meaux in 1422 and was succeeded by his son Henry (1419-1471) who was 12 in 1431. I changed her birth date to about 1420, and set her death date to 1440 to match her son George's birthdate, also uncertain.[1]

I agree the parentage can't be right. The french Wikipedia page clearly states there was only 1 child. This ancestry seems very fake. I'll remove her as a child.
