The will of "William Feake the elder, citizen and goldsmith of London" was written 7 May 1595, and mentions the children of his brother Edmond Feake, including Edmond's daughter "Anne Feake now dwelling with me". He doesn't state that Edmond was deceased, but the implication seems to be that he was.

Edmond is not named in his father's will. The author proposes that he was born posthumously.
