The Anne Sandys to whom Richard Weston was married is not the daughter of William Sandys KG and Margaret Bray. 

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Weston_(treasurer)

 He married Anne Sandys, a daughter of Oliver Sandys of Shere, and one of the Gentlewomen of Queen Catherine of Aragon, by whom he had a son and two daughters as follows:[6]

  • Sir Francis Weston (d.1536), only son and heir apparent, who was arrested as one of the alleged lovers of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII. His father is said to have offered all the family had to gain his son a pardon, but Sir Francis was executed in 1536.
  • Margaret Weston;
  • Katherine Weston.

Yes, I'd be inclined to follow the History of Parliament on this one.  I'll alter the parentage accordingly.

I've added what I can to her biography.  Looking at the dates and the details in the heralds' visitations of Cumberland, together with various Surrey histories, I now suspect that she is more likely to the sister of Oliver Sandes (Sandes-39) and daughter of William Sandys (Sandys-58).  To link all this up, it would be necessary to merge Sandes-39 with Sandys-68 and Sandys-26 with Sandys-91. I'm going to propose these and see what happens.
