Missing Children of Robert III d'Ufford, 1st Earl of Suffolk and Margaret Ufford, Countess Of Suffolk

DAUGHTER: Owing to Joan de Ufford 's betrothal date, which appears now on her Geni profile page, she was either a firstborn child or one who was born earlier than most siblings.

TWO CHILDREN W/O GENI PROFILE PAGES
— Maud de Ufford, a canoness of Campsey
(b. btw. 1328-1337)
See Dictionary of Naational Biography, Vol. 58 – https://www.google.com/books/edition/Dictionary_of_National_Biograp...

— Walter de Ufford
(¿b. say 1321?)
Wikipedia’s 2024 updated webpage for "Robert Ufford, 1st Earl of Suffolk" shows a son Walter de Ufford, citing Douglas Richardson:

"Walter Ufford (born 3 October 1343), third son, who married, before February 1359, Elizabeth de Montagu (c. 1344 – before July 1361), daughter of Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu (died 3 July 1461) and Alice of Norfolk, by whom he had no issue.[11]"

The citation needs crosschecking before adding him. Perhaps someone who owns these books can decide whether Wikipedia is in error or is correct. I The volume's relevant page is not available for full review online. — Richardson "Plantagenet Ancestry" II 2011, p. 635. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ufford,_1st_Earl_of_Suffolk

Shifting to thinking Joan would've been born about in the latter pecking order of children. Since betrothed to an 8 years old (probably contract) she was about the same age – born say c.1328 ?
