Father (or Grandfather): Thomas Corbet of Leigh.
See the Commentary section. Possibly, Mary was actually the daughter of Thomas’s son Peter.
Mother (or Grandmother): Isabel Burley.
See Thomas’s page for the identifcation.
Spouse: Thomas Cludde.
This relationship is given by Herbert (p. 163). It is corroborated by the fact that Mary and Thomas’s daughter’s Rosa’s son, John Salter, referred in his 1532 will to his kinsman, John Corbet of Leigh.

Thomas Cludde (living 1485).
(probably) Rosa (or Anne) Cludde married John (or Thomas) Salter.
Commentary
Mary’s parents:
The Cludd pedigree in the 1623 Visitation of Shropshire gives “Maria filia Tho’ae Corbet de Lee.”
The Cludd pedigree in the 1614 Visitation of Shropshire, said by Herbert to be generally more accurate for the Cludd family, gives “...d. of Peter vel Thomas Corbett of Lee in Com. Salop.” Another copy of the visitation (Harl. 1400) simply gives “Peter”. Herbert herself (p. 163) gives “Thomas Corbet of Lee (i.e. Leigh-juxta-Caus).”
Both are chronlogically possible, as far as I know.
