True, p. 111 identifies the wife of Thomas Skeffington as "Margareta filia et haeres Edm. Stanhop MILES." (Miles meaning "knight.")
I noticed somewhere that Ralph Rochford, son of Elizabeth (Scrope) (Bigod) (Rochford) St. John, and brother of Joan (Rochford) Stanhope, was living as late as 1511, though he was insane at the time.

Dear John ~ The first document below is an agreement dated 1507 between Richard Stanhope, son and heir of Sir Edward Stanhope, and Henry Stanhope, Esq., of Haughton, Nottinghamshire, and his son, Edmund Stanhope, Esq. The document comes from the Manuscripts and Special Collections of the University of Nottingham Archives. The second document below is taken from the online Discovery catalog. It refers to Margaret, daughter of Edmund Stanhope, in a record of a Chancery Proceedings dated 1518-1529. Margaret Stanhope was then of minor age, she having a guardian, William Skeffington, Knt. Inasmuch as Edmund Stanhope is not styled "Sir" or "knight" in either record below, it would seem probable that Edmund Stanhope was not ever knighted. The two documents below confirm that Edmund's given name was Edmund, not Edward. We learn from the first document that Henry Stanhope and his son, Edmund, were both living in 1507. We learn from the second document below that Edmund Stanhope died before 1518-1529.
