Biography
Depending on the scribe this surname appears in several forms, including Fereby. Parliamentary and Court records, however, give it as Ferriby (the origin of which is the village of Ferriby in Lincs).
It should be noted that Alice Ferriby's father was said by the Heralds in the Visitation of Worcestershire 1569 to have come from Lincolnshire. The suggestion by Harwood that she "more probably belonged to the family of Ferby of Paul's Cray, Kent" appears to be pure speculation.[1]
Robinson (1873), names her "Ann" and calls her the daughter and heir of a Ferby (sic) from Lincolnshire and the widow of James Pickering, while Richardson (2011) calls her "Alice", daughter of an unknown Fereby.[2] Robinson is clearly unreliable as James Pickering of Killington was the first husband not of Alice Ferriby but of Anne Moresby, Sir Humphrey Coningsby's third wife.[3]
Waters states she is "Alice, the daughter and heir (sic) of Ferriby of Ferriby in Lincolnshire"[4] possibly taking it from The Visitation of Worcestershire 1569 (p.43) which also states that.
Baker (2004) decides that Alice Ferriby is actually Isabel Ferriby.
Inq p.m. 16 Henry VIII = 1524[5]
It is unclear when Alice died but given Sir Humphrey remarried about 1504 it had to be before then.

The surname is almost universally spelt FERRIBY in all old documents. Please could this be corrected.

Richardson uses Fereby. Feel free to post to G2G, tagging it with both EuroAristo and Pre-1500, to discuss her LNAB. Thanks.

Richardson (p.261) has simply copied the universally bad spelling in the Visitations. He compounds that on page 140 where he spells it Ferreby (or Feriby). Clearly he has no idea what it should be. "Chapters in the Administrative History of Mediaeval England - The Wardrobe, The Chamber and the Small Seals" by T. F. Tout, D.Litt., LL.D., F.B.A., Manchester University Press, citing ancient paperwork always give it as Ferriby. The manorial rolls for Islington (which they held briefly) give it as Ferriby. The Summons to parliament spells it Ferriby. The name of the village where this family originate is Ferriby. The Lord Mayor of York in 1478 was a John Ferriby. I could go on......

Robin, they have the same father (fathers need to be merged first) and the same name. People just spelled them differently...

Fereby-3 and Ferebie-1 do not represent the same person because: theuir surnames are diffrent, no source to substantiate being the same person
