The inheritance.



The inheritance.
If we take it as the year he became major, 1547 would have been the year Henry Carey got in full control of the inheritance has his father, mother and grand-parent were dead (as well has his aunt and uncle). Though his mother had given some of the property to his stepfather, namely  the manor of Abinger and houses in Essex (weir, Mary Boleyn mistress of king page 250). Just four days prior her death she had came into control of the family estate of Rochford hall. I did find one reference to this estate getting in control on Henry Carey, only to sell it later, however I'm not sure I can vouch for the authenticity of this (Feet of Fines for Essex may shed some light of it, but it doesn't seem readily available online, at least not the volume I need). If it is to believe he eventually gave away that estate in favor of those west of London to Richard Rich (well that's one more wikipedia worthy name I can add)

though the bulk of it went to Henry with it being spread around Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire and Wiltshire (source). Mind you as he we go along in the period between 1547 and the crowning he would lose some of these property as time went by. Heck despsite some of the jobs he had with crown our fella seem to be a little strap for liquidity in the coming years (he seem to be constantly selling properly and never acquiring new ones). Another Boleyn property Swavesey would be sold by him in 1549.  Even if it is his "home" seat, Henry will sell property in Buckhingham later in the 1550's. He also seem to been in some legal issue over an estate against some Pakington.

Sorry if it don't seem very structurate here, but I wasn't really able to find a concise list of Henry Carey real estate or what was given to him in any fashion.
