The information on Mary's first marriage to John de Multon of Frampton comes from her inquisition post mortem. "Mary wife of John Bussy, knight. Writ, 8 July, 22 Richard II [8 July 1398]. Lincoln, Inquisition taken at Lincoln, Tuesday before St Mark, 22 Richard II [22 April 1399]. She held the under-mentioned lands for life by the gift of John de Multon, knight, deceased, formerly her husband, ... " Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, vol. 17, Richard II (1988), No. 1127. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/vol17/pp402-417 The information that she was married secondly to Sir Ralph Daubney comes from another inquisition: 28 June 1386, Inquisition post mortem of Giles Daubenay, knight. Lincoln, "South Ingelby. The manor, in Saxilby and Broxholm, with the advowson of the church of Broxholm and all other its appurtenances, held of the lord de Roos, as of his honor of his castle of Bewer, by service of 2 1/2 knight's fees and 21s. 4d. rent yearly.

Thanks for sharing your sources John. Much appreciated. I can add one additional snippet of information regarding the much married Mary. Foster, History of the Villages of Aisthorpe and Thorpe-le-Fallows (1927): 99-101 indicates that Mary Daubeney, as "lady of North Ingleby," presented to a mediety of the church of St. Denis at Kirkby by Laythorpe, Lincolnshire in 1380.
