Daughters of Sir Robert MARKHAM

In the 15th and early 16th century, 3 daughters are attributed in various pedigrees to a Sir Robert Markham. The daughters are:
1) Elizabeth, wife of Sir Thomas Molyneux of Haughton (d. 1492)
2) Margaret, wife of Sir Henry Willoughby of Wollaton (d. 1528)
3) Katharine, wife of Sir Henry Bozome of Screveton [their son Sir Richard d. 1525]

The question is: WHICH Sir Robert Markham was the father? A couple of visitation pedigrees (Notts and Lincolnshire) say they were daughters of the Sir Robert who d. 1496 and mar. Joan Daubeney, bringing Cotham to the Markham family. But Sir Clements Markham in his "Markham Memorials" [1913] says the ladies were sisters of this Sir Robert and daughters of his father Sir Robert by his wife Elizabeth Burdon. This parentage is also given in an extensive Markham pedigree in vol. 7 of "The Herald and Genealogist" (unfortunately without sources and with no author indicated).

[The elder Sir Robert was son of Sir John, Judge of Common Pleas, and half-brother of Sir Robert, Lord Chief Justice.]

The limited chronology above would suggest that the ladies (or at least Elizabeth and Katharine, not necessarily Margaret) were sisters rather than daughters of the younger Sir Robert (d. 1496), thus agreeing with the version of Sir Clements Markham. But this is just a conjecture, and I don't know that they were necessarily all daughters of the same Sir Robert.

Any thoughts on this situation??
