• He died in Dublin on the 31st of December 1535, and was buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral. [1] he was succeeded by his eldest son Thomas.

• Skeffington married twice. His first wife was Margaret Digby, daughter of Sir Everard Digby of Tilton, Leicestershire, by whom he had four sons, including Sir Leonard Skeffington, who would hold the post of Lieutenant of the Tower of London. Sir Leonard is credited with having invented the "Scavenger's Daughter", which was a torture device used in the Tower during Henry VIII's reign.[2] Following Margaret's death, William Skeffington married secondly, Anne Digby, a 'daughter of Sir John Digby of Kettleby and his wife, Katherine Giffin'. This marriage produced two further sons and three daughters.[3]
