John married Matilda Countess of Angus, daughter of Malcolm 5th Earl of Angus and Unknown.1 (Matilda Countess of Angus was born about 1214.)


  Marriage Notes:

"He (Gilbert de Umfraville) was not her first husband, who was John Comyn, said to be Richard, the son of a Comyn...He also had the title of Earl of Angus when he died in France in 1242, but nothing else is recorded regarding him, save that he is said to
have had by the Countess a son Bertold, who died an infant."

from Scots Peerage

Note: It is not at all clear what Scots Peerage means by the phrase

"
who was John Comyn, said to be Richard, the son of a Comyn".

There was a John Comyn, son of Richard Comyn and Hextilda, but he is likely to have been born in the middle third of the 12th century and was, according to the poms website "Buried at Kelso Abbey before 1160". Richard and Hextilda had at least two other sons apart from John and William: Simon and Odinel. One of these may have been the father of the man who died in France in 1242.
