Memoirs illus. of the Hist. & Antiqs. of Wiltshire & the City of Salisbury (1851): 215- 216 (" ... Edward of Salisbury was the vice-comes of Wiltshire at the time of the Domesday Survey ... But in early feudal times ... the vice-comes, who acted in the absence of an earl, is usually considered as identical with the functionary known by the English term shire-reeve, or sheriff ... At the period of the compilation of the Domesday Survey in the year 1080-86, the manor of Amesbury was held by Edward of Sarisberie, together with other manors in Wiltshire, amounting in all to thirty-eight ... [He] was also lord of several manors in eight other counties, namely Somerset, Dorset, Hants, Oxford, Middlesex, Hertford, Buckingham, and Surrey ... we have three other records ... which bear testimony to the importance of Edward of Salisbury in the days of the Conqueror. One is a charter granted by the king to the abbey of Selby, dated at London in the presence of ... Edward of Salisbury (his name occuring second), and others, 'all the king's court there present.' The period of this charter must be placed between 1070 ... and 1082 ... To two other charters the name of Edward is less prominently attached under the designation of vice-comes. One of these was granted by the Conqueror's queen to the abbey of Malmesbury, and bears the date ... 1081; and the second is a charter of the king to the priory of Lewes, which cannot be earlier than 1080 ....No notice has been preserved of the wife of Edward of Salisbury ...."). Notes & Queries 4th Ser. 9 (1872): 313-315 ("Edward of Salisbury, descended from a common ancestor with the Sieurs de Roumare near Rouen and the founder of St. George's Abbey at Bocherville, was invested with the shrievalty of Wilts long before Domesday, for 'Edward Vice-Comes' subscribed the charter of Selby about 1075, a charter to Malmesbury in 1081, and another to St. Peters Gloucester in 1082. In the reign of William Rufus he gave his daughter Matilda, with the barony of Trowbridge, to Humphrey de Bohun II., whose son and successor was of full age before 1129.").

Green Aristocracy of Norman England (1997): 375-376 ("A third case where a daughter was conspicuously well provided for despite the fact that she had brothers is that of the daughter of Edward of Salisbury. It has been suggested above (p. 62) that he was probably an English survivor. He had a son, also called Edward of Salisbury, and it is very difficult to sort the two out in the sources. Lands held by the two Edwards passed in the male line to Walter of Salisbury and his son Patrick, the first earl, but a substantial amount passed to Matilda, daughter of Edward, probably the younger, of Salisbury, who married Humphrey de Bohun. One obvious possibility here is that Matilda inherited her mother's lands and Walter of Salisbury inherited his father's lands, but there is no evidence on this point.").
