Brockhill was probably a younger son (or nephew) of Thomas Brockhill of Saltwood, near Hythe, MP for Kent, and thus the brother of MP John Brockhill. He had one wife, Joan, and one daughter.

The family's name is still remembered in Saltwood's secondary school, Brockhill Park Performing Arts College and Brockhill Country Park.
