Well the closest Henry Carey ever got to my location is indirectly as he
was a sponsor of Martin
Frobisher expedition, mind you he wasn't exactly the most prestigieous or the
main backer or main the one, but he is indeed listed among those that financed
the expedition to find the north-west passage. I doubt he was particularly
enthusiast on the matter as list tend to show that he still hasn't paid for his
part (source),
though he hardly was the only in the matter and his participation being minimal
(source),
too bad the guy was 500 years or so too early before the passage was cleared by
global warming. I'm pretty sure Henry wouldn't have gotten there to save his
life considering how cold it was.

The other valentine
A little interesting event that happen is in 1575. Remember Valentine
Browne, the man was the treasurer of Berwick-Upon-Tweed, who happen to have the
share the name with Henry Carey possible bastard son. Well he seem he got into
trouble. The previous year, the soldiers started to complain (Source)
and that the food was being crappy. Then again money was alway problem, but it
seem that this time it was enough for the authority to take action against
Valentine as he seem to be more or less accuse of embazllement and he ended up
in the same prison Henry Carey had been sent to previously, though eventually release
several month later he was. The entry on
Valentine Browne and Lord Hunsdon in the act of the privy
matters will give you the details

Think of the Children
So how about a little overview of
the carey children who they married
George Carey went to marry Elizabeth
Spencer around 1574 and he suprisingly had only one child (suprising should
you compare to his father)
John married Mary Hyde (amusingly wasn't Hyde park the property of his
father) around 1576 and was a widow.
Henry Jr wife seem to be unknown, however record show henry tried to get him married to
one of the daughter of Lord
Conyers (I suspect he was dead though he probably was dead and his title
unocupied)
William was married off to Martha
Turner , she said to be the daughter of Thomas Turner, the only notable I've seen around that time
with that name were MP, but that doesn't confirm anything.
Edmund was married three times once to Mary Cocker and a second time to
a widow Elizabeth Danvers (né Neville) and a third time to Judith Humphrey
Robert as mentioned previously was married to Elizabeth Trevanion.
Katherine was of course married to Charles
Howard
Margaret was married to Edward Hoby, the two never
seem to have gotten any children despiste being married 23 years together (she
died in 1605), but Edward illegitimate one, he also remarried afterward what
weird is this. According to Tudorplace (who I admit not above making a mistake)
is that apparently Edmund married the mother of Edward wife( apparently
for political reason)
Philadelphia married Thomas
Scope. who while she doesn't seem to have a portrait (Thomas apparently prefered to be with his mom) do have a momument.

Personality
One has to be a bit careful when
talking about the traits of character of an historical figure especially when
centuries separate them. Heck it's a difficult thing to do in everyday life.
Henry Carey being a secondary player in history also ended up making very
little description of his behaviour compare to some. Although there is some
that exist. Recent edition of the queen
elizabeth (which I swore were not online previously) have extract of two text that give quite a
good idea of how other perceived him (note).
I had seen them previously in their original source, though it is a bit more convenient
to have the put together. Also one thing I've seen him being a bit more vocal
is in a letter to Lord Burghley (185), but
the very notable part is that Henry demonstrate criticism of Elizabeth pretty
much saying that her indecisiveness over the duke indecision was causing issue
in fairly plain term to it midly (Calling her careless, to the point of not
worrying for her own life and how full of consequence that be for kingdom if
she bite the dust, I wouldn't be surprised if its Hunsdon was allowed more bluntness
because of the family connection) since they seem to be something of a grudge
over his son (not sure which) fell into disgrace with her and saying that (125) that
she treated her enemies better than her friend.

Two little things
Here a little thing from 1575, in which apparently Sir Philip Sydney
apparently heard two sons of Lord Hunsdon had died (page
122), this is of course wrong has him and and his two elder son were not
anywhere around Ireland at that time. The note also mention that the events
were in fact pure rumour. Also the other thing is the Thesis yet again (source) page 42 of the
pdf and 38. Has it provide a good list of the Carey family involvement into the
action of the border.
