James de Shirley; married 1st well before 1280 Agnes and had a daughter (Isabella married c1296 William de Yeaveley); married 2nd by 1280 Isabella, widow of John de Brunston, and died in or after 1296 leaving by her [Sir Ralph]. [Burke's Peerage]
Note: All 40 other lineages in World Connect have Agnes as mother of Sir Ralph and do not even mention the 2nd wife Isabella, widow of John de Brunston. I will doggedly follow Burke's lead until better evidence surfaces.
James and Agnes de were married in a religious ceremony before 1275 in 1st wife - married "well before 1280".
