Dear Lorraine,
Your question could be read easily the wrong way. The College of
Arms (I hope) did not say that Sir Robert Sheffield married Elena
Babington? I will display what I have for the first generations of
this family, source Gerald Paget's book on the ancestors of Prince
Charles. This book relies heavily on Burke's Peerage, thus beware!

1.Robert Sheffield
father of :
2.Robert Sheffield, of Butterwick
died 18 August 1502
married Joan Loconde, daughter of Alexander Loconde
parents of :
3.Sir Robert Sheffield, Recorder of London
born 1462, died before 28 February 1519 (date will proven)
married Helen Delves, daughter of John Delves and ELIZABETH BABINGTON
parents of
4.Sir Robert Sheffield, of Butterwick
died 15 November 1531
married (1) Jane Stanley, daughter of George Stanley, Lord Stanley,
and Joan Le Strange, 9th Baroness Strange of Knockyn
parents of :
5.Edmund Sheffield, 1st Baron Sheffield of Butterwicke
born 22 November 1521
died 31 July 1549 Norwich
married before 31 January 1538
Lady Anne de Vere, daughter of John de Vere, 15th Earl of Oxford,
and Elizabeth Trussel
died before 14 February 1572, buried at Stepney
descendants till the present (in female lines)

Hope this helps?
