Henry Ferrers, who died in 1499 was the father of Edward Ferrers d.1535 who has an entry in the History of Parliament: http://www.histparl.ac.uk/volume/1509-1558/member/ferrers-sir-edward-1468-1535. This states that Margaret Hexstall, mother of Edward,
was Henry's second wife. I am not aware of sourcing for Henry Ferrers having more than one wife. Does anyone know of any evidence for this? I am wondering if S T Bindoff, who wrote the History of Parliament entry, has misread Visitations, which show
Henry as Margaret's second husband.

On the subject of Henry Ferrers' marriage, Douglas Richardson gives a marriage date of 30 September 1481 ("Magna Carta Ancestry", 2nd edition, 2011, Vol. I, p. 481; "Royal Ancestry", 2013, Vol. II, p. 213). This is based on a grant on that date of land
in Kent, which refers to Henry and Margaret as husband and wife: "A Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds in the Public Record Office", Vol. I, HMSO, 1890, p. 428 (entry 431), https://archive.org/details/descriptivecatal01greauoft/page/428/mode/2up; The
National Archives, ref. C 146/431, https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5884890 Discovery Centre catalogue entry. Patent Rolls entries point to the marriage being before 14 November 1468, when a grant was made to Henry and his wife of
manor of Hamyldon [Hambleton], Rutland: "Calendar of the Patent Rolls, Edward IV and Henry VI, A.D. 1467-1477", HMSO, 1900, p. 123, https://archive.org/details/calendarpatentr05blacgoog/page/122/mode/2up?q=ferrers. This grant was a replacement for one
made to Henry alone on 5 August 1467: "Calendar of the Patent Rolls, Edward IV and Henry VI, A.D. 1467-1477", pp. 18-19, https://archive.org/details/calendarpatentr05blacgoog/page/n30/mode/2up?q=ferrers. So it seems to me probable that the marriage was
between 5 August 1467 and 14 November 1468 - and quite likely not long before the latter date. This accords with the age given for their son Edward in Henry's IPM, held on 17 October 1503: Edward is said in it to be age 30 and more: Maskelyne and H. C.
