Family
Jane Radcliffe was one of the two daughters of Robert Radcliffe, 1st Earl of Sussex, by his second wife, Margaret Stanley, the only daughter[1] of Thomas Stanley, 2nd Earl of Derby, and Anne Hastings, the daughter of Edward Hastings, 2nd Baron Hastings. Jane's sister of the whole blood, Anne Radcliffe, married Thomas Wharton, 2nd Baron Wharton.[2]
By her father's first marriage to Elizabeth Stafford, the elder daughter of Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, by Katherine Woodville, Jane had three half brothers, Henry Radcliffe, 2nd Earl of Sussex, Sir Humphrey Radcliffe (c. 1508/9–13 August 1566), and George Radcliffe.[3]
By her father's third marriage to Mary Arundell (d. 20 October 1557), Jane had a half brother who died in infancy, and another half brother, Sir John Radcliffe. After her father's death on 27 November 1542, Jane's stepmother, Mary, married, on 19 December 1545, as his second wife, Henry FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel (d. 24 February 1580), and Jane was thus related, through her stepmother's remarriage, to the Earl's three children by his first wife, Henry FitzAlan, Lord Maltravers, Jane FitzAlan, and Mary FitzAlan.[4]

In her will dated 20 July 1637, Mary Dormer requested that she be buried at Midhurst, Sussex, near her first husband, Anthony Browne.
