For Edward Ferrers (1524X7-1564) see also the ODNB:
Edward Ferrers (I524x7—I564), was the only son of Henry Ferrers (d. 1526) and Katherine, the daughter and coheir of Sir John Hampden of Hampden, Buckinghamshire. Edward's grandfather Edward Ferrers (d. 1535) had acquired the manor of Baddesley Clinton, Warwickshire, through marriage to Constance (d. 155]), younger daughter and coheir of Nicholas Brome, and established it as the family seat. Edward succeeded to his grandfather's estate as a child and his wardship was acquired by Elizabeth, the widow of Sir Thomas Englefield and daughter of Sir Robert Throckmorton; he had probably come of age by 1545. The royal marriage of Katherine Parr, a kinswoman to the Throckmortons, led Edward Ferrers into court circles, and he attended the funerals of both Edward VI and Mary as a gentleman pensioner. In 1548 he married Bridget (d. 1582), the daughter of William Windsor, second Baron Windsor; they had six sons and three daughters. Ferrers represented Warwick in Mary's first parliament, but otherwise played little part in public aflairs. The last years of his life were dogged by financial troubles, and by the time of his death his estates were in the control of his brother-in-law Edward, third Baron Windsor.

Edward Ferrers and Bridget Windsor had 6 sons and 3 daughters.

His failure to play any further part in national or Iocal affairs may find its explanation in the financial troubles which by 1561 had forced Ferrers to mortgage his lands. Two years later he and the mortgagees gave his brother-in-law Edward, 3rd Lord Windsor the management of all his property in Warwickshire, five other counties and London for a period of 12 years, and it was at Windsor's own house at Tardebigge in Worcestershire that Ferrers died on 10 or 11 Aug. 1564: he appears to have made no will.
