I have tried a Google search using the term above in brackets. I have found some UK government website using it. There is just one hot for ferrous chloride sulphate.

neutral  Zareh Darakjian Ph.D.: There should not be a blank between iron and (III). This is not optional even if google has it that way. This is accepted nomenclature.

ferric chloride sulfate


Explanation:
It is ferric, not ferrous chloride sulfate. Ferric stands for iron with a valency of 3, ferrous for iron with a valency of 2.
Sigrids suggestion is also a possibility.
