Edward de Salibury, somtimes appearing in records as "Edward the Sheriff," was said to have been born in England after The Conquest. He styled his name this way when he attested a charter of Queen Maud for malmesbury in Feb. 1080/81 and a charter of "the Conqueror," and Maud for Holy Trinity, Caen, in 1082, as well as a sundry of royal notifications which may be of an earlier date or later.

Edward was Sheriff of Wiltshire as early as Feb 1080/81. In the Domesday Survey, he is shown to have thirty-three manors in Wiltshire, as well as other smaller estates in Surrey, Hants, Dorest, Somerset, Middlesex, Buks, Oxfordshire and hers, being syled in the Domesday Book as "Edwardus Sarisburiensis." Besides his son and heir, Walter, he had a daughter named Maud, who married Humphrey de Bohun II, and it is said, at the instance of William II [Dugdale, Mon,. v. ii, p. 67] He was alive after William the Conqueror died, but little else is known about him.
