William Ferrers-Ferris owned Bromley Hall which is about 2 or 3 miles east of the Tower of London. He also had a son named William who died a month before him (25 Aug 1625). An inscription at the Bromley church reads:
"Here lyes ye body of William Ferrers ye only son and heyre of Will Ferrers Esquire Citizen & Mercer of London, who tooke to wyfe Iane one of ye daught' of Sr. Peter Van-Lore, of London Knight by whom he had one childe, His Wyfe & childe dyed both before him and he departed this lyfe a month before his Father. He was a gentleman of religious sovle towardes God and a sweet behaviour towardes Menn and his death was by his kindred and generally mvch lamented. He dyed the 25th. of August 1625 and left his Vncle Thomas Ferrers his Executor who to the memory of him hath erected this monument."
The Bromley inscription indicates that William Ferrers-Ferris (d.1625) the Merchant Adventurer, Mercer and Alderman had an only son named William who pre-deceased him and a brother named Thomas. Therefore, William Ferrers-Ferris (d.1625) appears to have had two brothers, one named Edward and one named Thomas.
