is it true he's a distant relative of Henry VIII? i think i've just died and gone to heaven. i totally thought the Tudor line died out with Elizabeth I! he must be from Princess Mary's side. but i didn't think Princess Mary and Charles Brandon had had children.

It says "distant" not lineal. Henry had two sisters and one brother
(who died sp) One sister married the King of Scotland - True, Henry V111 has no lineal heirs (that were legitimate) Tudor Genealogy is a full time job - The Elwes family definitely has more than one connection - Carol Ward Dudley -

John elwes was a distant cousin of careys. They have a common ancestor on Geoffrey elwes and elizabeth gabbott. What's kind of strange is that geoffrey and Elizabeth's son who was Carey's ancestor married a woman named Morley.
