Biography
George Carew MP is Notable.
Admiral Sir George Carew (c. 1504 – 19 July 1545) was an English soldier, admiral and adventurer during the reign of King Henry VIII who died in the sinking of the Royal Navy flagship Mary Rose at the Battle of the Solent during an attempted French invasion in the Italian War of 1542–1546. Scion of a controversial and dramatic family, Carew had a wild youth and explored widely, being arrested several times of associating with rebellious vassals of the king. Carew successfully tamed this nature in his later years, during which he became a trusted advisor and military officer in the King's service.
George Carew married twice, but left no progeny:
Firstly to Thomasine Pollard (d.1539), daughter of Sir Lewis Pollard (c.1465-1540), Justice of the Common Pleas.
Secondly, in late autumn of 1540, to Mary Norris (d.1570), daughter of the courtier Sir Henry Norreys of Berkshire. She later married Sir Arthur Champernowne.
