Also, He is thought to have been born in Blickling Hall in Norfolk, England with an alternative birthplace of Hever Castle in Kent, England. This is where his famous siblings Mary, Anne, and George were probably born.
He is also thought to be older than his brother George, however, no birth records are available. Given that he was named after King Henry VIII, traditionally the first-born males are named after their father or the King, this would also support the claim. Thomas & Elizabeth had children annually from the time of their marriage (about 1498-9) to the death of Thomas's father (1505).
