Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage 3 (1913): 553 (sub Cromwell) includes a good account of Sir John de Cromwell, Lord Cromwell [died 1335]. Regarding his marriage, the following information is provided:
"He married, before 25 June 1302, Idoine, widow of Roger de Leyburne (died 1283), and daughter and co-heiress of Robert de Vipont, of Brougham Castle, Westmoreland, being niece and co-heiress of Richard FitzJohn [Lord FitzJohn]." END OF QUOTE.
Complete Peerage provides this documentation for this statement: Nothing.
Contemporary records indicate that Idoine de Vipont's first husband, Sir Roger de Leybourne, died shortly before 21 Feb. 1283/4. His widow, Idoine, was subsequently summoned for military service in 1291, 1294, 1297, and 1300, as Idonea de Leyburn or Domina de Leyburn [see Palgrave, Parliamentary Writs & Writs of Military Summons 1 (1827): 704; Palgrave, Docs. & Records Ill. the History of Scotland 1 (1837): 217]. In 1292 Lady Idoine de Layburn in her widowhood reached agreement with Wetheral Priory regarding a pasture by Appleby, Westmorland [see Prescott, Reg. of the Priory of Wetherhal (Cumb. & Westmorland Antiq. & Arch. Soc. Recs. 1) (1897): 38 footnote 15, 363–364]. In 1293–4 she was summoned to answer the king by what warrant she claimed to have free warren in Bawtry, Kimberworth, and Austerfield, gallows, infangthief, and outgangthief in Bawtry, and a market and fair in Kimberworth, all in Yorkshire [see English, Yorkshire Hundred & Quo Warranto Rolls (Yorkshire Arch. Soc. Recs. 151) (1996): 239–241]. In 1294 she quitclaimed to Holm Abbey her rights in the waste land of Kirkby Thore, Westmorland [see Curwen, Later Records relating to North Westmorland (1932): 161]. She was co-heiress in 1297 to her uncle, Richard Fitz John, Knt., Lord Fitz John.
Cal. of Fine Rolls 1 (1911): 440 indicates that Idoine de Leyburn intended to remarry about 6 April 1301:
Date: 6 April 1301. "Order to the king's clerk, Master Richard de Havering, after taking a fine from Idonia, late the wife of Roger de Leyburn, tenant in chief, if she will make any for for licence to marry whomsoever she will in the king's fealty, to certify the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer thereof." END OF QUOTE.
As to when Idoine de Vipont married her 2nd husband, Sir John de Cromwell, Complete Peerage only says "before 25 June 1302." This couple were actually married before Easter term [19 April-15 May] 1301, as indicated by a Common Pleas lawsuit of that date. In that term and year, Ellis de Tyngewyk sued Maud Fitz John, widow of William de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, regarding one messuage, one mill, and lands in Paulerspury, Northamptonshire. The lawsuit mentions Maud's fellow Fitz John co-heirs then living, including Countess Maud's niece, Idoine, who is there called the wife of John de Cromwell. Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/138, image 25f (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/E1/CP40no138/aCP40no138fronts/IMG_0025.htm).
Reviewing the above, it appears that after a long period of widowhood, Idoine de Vipont married (2nd) Sir John de Cromwell sometime after 6 April 1301 (Fine Rolls cited above) and before 15 May 1301 [Common Pleas lawsuit cited above].

"He was living 15 Oct. 1335, and d. before 8 Oct. 1335.(f)"
That's a cleaver trick
BTW on your line 6, "and daughter and co-heiress" should read "2nd daughter and co-heiress" (I often make this kind of mistake, converting .pdf into .doc)
