Claire, how could this person be a grandson of george boleyn, I thought George had no children? Is there something I am missing here? Ha ha
yeah…that doesnt add up….I think someone hit the wrong button on ancestry.com 😉
True – I just discover his,post now – George at 30 or about died without leaving issue from his wedding to Jane Parker.
And he is not known for having sired illegitimate children as well.
That fact helped his enemy say he had a special sexual behaviour.
But Thomas B (his father) had younger siblings (of whom I know nearly nothing)
“Boulain” was the name under which Anne B was known at the french court.
Maybe mispelling, but not an insult either.
But in France there is some confusion between Mary and Anne Boleyn.
That might (that is not a position of mine, just assuming) show that all that was rather related to Anne’s elder sister, Mary – and that, indeed, Anne was some years younger.
